"The Wartime Escape:" Central Library - 223 S. Main. 261-8506. 8 am. More than three generations of Americans have grown up reading stories of an irrepressible little monkey Curious George. But few people know about the incredible journey made by his creators, Margret and H. A. Rey, to escape the Nazi invasion of Paris at the start of World War II. This event tells their story through 27 framed art prints by Allan Drummond and supplemental archival images. More than just the tale of a rousing escape from occupied France, this exhibition celebrates a timeless survival story, one that serves as a potent reminder of the power of human creativity and the cost when voices and visions are silenced by the impact of war. Event runs from 3-26-11 to 4-30-11.
