While it does not claim to be the first - created in the late 1990s -
the National Center for Children's Illustrated Literature in Abilene,
Texas, is another place that houses and honors wonderful artwork. The
web site, http://www.nccil.org/index.htm, has more information. If you
are ever in west Texas, think about visiting.

I was sent a message by someone from Ohio who said that the first
picture book art museum was actually the Mazza Museum established on
the
campus of the University of Findlay located in Findlay, Ohio. The
Mazza
Museum goes back to 1982 and Eric Carle's was opened to the public in
2002. The websites of both museums claim to be the first:
The University of Findlay website:
http://www.findlay.edu/offices/resources/mazza/default.htm
"The Mazza Museum: International Art from Picture Books is the world's
first and largest teaching museum devoted to literacy and the art of
children's picture books.
Founded in 1982, the Mazza Museum now contains more than 3,000
original
artworks."
The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art website:
http://www.picturebookart.org/Home
"Together with his wife Barbara, Eric Carle, the renowned author and
illustrator of more than 70 books, including the 1969 classic The Very
Hungry Caterpillar, founded The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art
as
the first full-scale museum in this country devoted to national and
international picture book art, conceived and built with the aim of
celebrating the art we know first."
Maybe we need to have more definition of the phrase "first full-scale
museum".
