    2011 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island with illustrations by N.C. Wyeth. The famous edition was a critical and popular success, established Wyeth among the period’s foremost illustrators, and became the iconic Treasure Island for generations of readers. To mark the anniversary, all 16 dramatic paintings created by Wyeth will be on display together for the first time since they left the artist’s studio a century ago. The exhibition also presents some Treasure Island productions of the last 100 years created by the many illustrators, theater and film directors, and even digital application designers who have been influenced by Wyeth’s imaginative vision.
