Exhibition Tour: Telling Tales: From Oral Tradition to Art
Map Collection at Parkway Central Library
Join us Saturday, December 21 at 11 AM for a tour of the latest exhibition from the Free Library's Special Collections Division: Telling Tales: From Oral Tradition to Art. Meet on the Second Floor of Parkway Central Library in West Gallery 2. All ages can enjoy the exhibition and complete the Seek and Find.
Telling Tales: From Oral Tradition to Art is a collaboration of the Children’s Literature Research Collection, the Map Collection, and the Print and Picture Collection.
Storytelling has shaped cultures and captivated imaginations throughout history. Whether teaching moral lessons or celebrating epic heroes, each tale reflects our values, fears, and dreams. Stories reflect the context—past or present—in which they are created, told, and retold. Journey into a rich tapestry of literature and art inspired by the creatures and mythos of lore.
The exhibition is located in the Second Floor West Gallery of Parkway Central Library.
