The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum: Opening June 3
The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum honors Ted Seuss Geisel and his iconic creations. The Museum opens on June 3rd at the Springfield Museums in Massachusetts.
Tour of Springfield Museums
Today we visited three of the five Springfield Museums. First we went to the Science Museum, then Dr. Seuss and last the Museum of Springfield History. All of them were fun for us. Our favorite at the Science Museum, were the real size dinosaur skeletons and the planetarium. There was also a nice collection of minerals. Dr. Seuss Museum was all fun. We felt like we entered his books. The Museum of Springfield History had a great collection of Indian motorcycles and super old firetruck. We strongly recommend visiting!
New Dr. Seuss Museum Opens Its Doors
(5 Jun 2017) From the squiggly, pink handrails outside the entrance to the front hall decorated with scenes from And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street - a real street just blocks away - the new Amazing World of Dr. Seuss museum says You're off to Great Places!
Walking into to the museum opening to the public Saturday in the author and illustrator's hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts, is like walking into one of his beloved children's books.
The museum dedicated to Theodor Geisel - who under the pen name Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated dozens of rhyming children's books including The Cat in the Hat and Green Eggs and Ham - features interactive exhibits, artwork never before displayed publicly and explains how his childhood experiences in the city about 90 miles (145 kilometers) west of Boston shaped his work.
Examples of Geisel's early advertising work and World War II-era propaganda and political illustrations that critics consider racist are conspicuously absent, but that's because the museum is aimed primarily at children, said Kay Simpson, president of the Springfield Museums complex.
The organization has in the past hosted exhibits of Geisel's wartime work, she said.
But by not referencing Geisel's wartime work, which often stereotyped the Japanese, the museum is telling only half the story, said Katie Ishizuka, who has written on Geisel's work.
They don't acknowledge the full picture of him or they try to minimize that or sweep it under the rug, said Ishizuka, director of The Conscious Kid Library, which lends what she says are more diverse and appropriate books for young readers.
Richard Minear, a professor emeritus of Japanese history at the University of Massachusetts, who wrote Dr. Seuss Goes to War about his political illustrations, says Geisel certainly had a blind spot on race, but it's not fair to judge his entire career on that work.
He matured and he developed a whole lot from those early years, Minear said, noting that Horton Hears a Who! was an allegory about post-war Japan and the nation's relationship with the U.S.

Springfield Museums purchasing Dr. Seuss home
The childhood home of one of Springfield’s most famous natives is being purchased by the Springfield Museums.
Audrey Geisel, widow and promoter of Dr. Seuss, dies at 97
(22 Dec 2018) AUDREY GEISEL, WIDOW AND PROMOTER OF DR. SEUSS, DIES AT 97
As Dr. Seuss neared the end of his life, the children's author told his wife that she would have to look after the Cat in the Hat, the Lorax, the Grinch and all the beloved characters he created.
It was a mission Audrey Geisel embraced for more than a quarter-century. As overseer of Dr. Seuss' prolific and lucrative literary estate, she carefully guarded the whimsical works of the writer and illustrator less known as Theodor Geisel and expanded the Seuss legacy. She promoted a highly profitable multimedia brand, from books and films to theme park rides and the Broadway show Seussical.
Audrey Geisel, 97, died Wednesday (19 DEC. 2018) at her home in the La Jolla section of San Diego, Random House Children's Books announced.
Geisel, who founded Dr. Seuss Enterprises, said she took to heart the responsibility her husband left her when he died in 1991.
You keep a firm control as if they really were your children, Geisel told The Associated Press in 1998. I don't want the Cat in a bad part of town, so to speak.
But she went far beyond keeping a tight grip on the empire. She broadly expanded it beyond what her husband cared to do while creating his 47 children's stories.
And, oh, the places she went with it.
More than 10 million Dr. Seuss books sell each year and new works are coming out, such as last spring's Dr. Seuss's First 100 words, according to Random House.
The 2000 live-action film version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, starring Jim Carrey, was a box-office smash. But Audrey Geisel and critics despised the 2003 live-action adaptation of The Cat in the Hat that starred Mike Myers of Austin Powers fame.
I never saw 'Austin Powers,' but I knew 'Yeah, baby!' and I didn't want 'Yeah, baby!' at all, she told the AP in 2004.
Geisel is credited as executive producer of the animated film The Grinch, which was released last month and tapped Benedict Cumberbatch to voice the title character.
A poll conducted by AP-NORC earlier this month put The Grinch just behind It's a Wonderful Life of favorite holiday films or television. It didn't specify if it was the Carrey version or the animated 1966 classic produced by Chuck Jones and narrated by Boris Karloff.
The movies have been lucrative with the recent Grinch production earning $245 million at the box office, according to Comscore. Animated film versions of The Lorax raked in $214 million and Horton Hears a Who made $154 million.
While Geisel has kept a tight rein on productions and merchandising, some of those efforts may have departed from Seuss' spirit, said Philip Nel, an English professor at Kansas State University, who wrote Dr. Seuss: American Icon.
A group of books, for example, that use the Cat in the Hat as a conventional educator stray from the character's rebellious roots, Nel said. Another book titled Seuss-isms for Success takes Seuss quotes out of context to apply to business situations.
There's been some pretty great stuff, too, Nel said. The animated Horton film was really thoughtfully done and understood the Seuss universe really well.
Geisel was a Chicago native and former nursing student at Indiana University.
She and Theodor Geisel, who was 17 years older, were both married to other people when they began an affair in the 1960s. His first wife, Helen, killed herself.
