Hidden Worlds and Wonders

The whimsical world of Walter Wick has fascinated people of all ages since 1991, when his first children’s book series I SPY found its way onto the bookshelves of millions of American households. This joyful outdoor sculpture installation featuring the art of inventive contemporary creators is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition, I SPY! Walter Wick’s Hidden Wonders. The sculptural works on view throughout the Museum’s thirty-six acre site are inspired by each artist’s imagination and the exhibition’s themes of seek and find miniature worlds, optical illusions, I SPY games and puzzle challenges, curiosity shop, and craft-build environments.
