Animation Art Gallery at The Movieum of London

  • The Art of Dr Seuss (until 14 January 2009). The Movieum of London is hosting The Animation Art Gallery's touring exhibition, The Art of Dr Seuss. Theodor Seuss Geisal (1904-1991) has been helping children learn to read for more than fifty years. His humorous stories, pictures and rhymes have always been popular. Seuss's ‘secret art’ reveals his private thoughts and includes artworks he rarely, if ever, exhibited during his lifetime. The display includes prints, poetry, advertisements, cartoons, book and magazine cover designs.
  • David Copperfield (2 December-31 January 2009). Visitors to the Movieum can also buy tickets for live performances of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield showing in the old County Hall debating chamber from 2 December to 31 January 2009.
