    Whether by accident, magic spell, or imagination the characters in Sendak's stories constantly shift form. Max famously becomes King of the Wild Things, an unhappy boy becomes a wizard, kids become dancing bears, a baby sister disappears, and angels come and go. This gallery talk focuses on transformations like these and the often surprising ways that Sendak identifies with his storybook characters. This gallery talk will be led by Karen Schoenewaldt, Registrar. Admission is limited. Please visit the official website to RSVP.
