  The Mazza Museum:
  The world's first museum dedicated to the art of children's picture
  books <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=1008>

The Mazza Museum is the first and largest Teaching Museum of Original 
Children's Book Art in the World. The Mazza collection began in 1982 to 
help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Findlay College. With the 
generous gift of two Findlay College alumni, the collection began with 
four pieces of art, valued at $1,700. Today, the Mazza Museum houses 
more than 3,000 original illustrations.

/The mission of the Mazza Museum at The University of Findlay is to 
promote literacy through its educational programs and to collect, 
exhibit and preserve original art from children's books.

/*Ben Sapp*, Instructor of Education at The University of Findlay and 
Deputy Director of the Mazza Museum, will present a brief history of the 
Mazza Museum and show us some of the original art on display!
