Kids Free Week at Hammond Castle Museum

During the week of April 20 to 24, Hammond Castle Museum will welcome school-aged children, ages 12 and under, for a free self-guided tour with a reserved ticket. In addition to a self-guided tour, guests will also be able to view our fourth annual&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;Pape&nbsp;fine art exhibition at the Hammond Castle Museum, featuring a significant collection of pen and ink&nbsp;illustrations&nbsp;by&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;Pape&nbsp;(1870 to 1938). Many of these works were recovered from&nbsp;Pape’s locked studio decades after his death and have not been publicly exhibited in over a century. Included are&nbsp;illustrations&nbsp;originally created for The Arabian Nights, Tales of Wonder and Magnificence, Fairy Tales and Stories by Hans Christian Andersen,&nbsp;Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris, Rip Van Winkle, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Shakespeare&nbsp;and The Heart of a Child&nbsp;by Gertrude Slaughter. This year’s exhibition will feature 73 works on loan from renowned conflict zone photographer Bruce Haley. These pieces have recently been cleaned and conserved and have not been publicly exhibited since&nbsp;Eric&nbsp;Pape’s death in 1938. The&nbsp;illustrations&nbsp;are being loaned from Haley’s&nbsp;extensive art collection&nbsp;in Northern California. The exhibition will also include more than a dozen works from Dr. Gregory Conn’s personal collection, previously exhibited at the Queen Christina House Museum and the Museum&nbsp;Kloster&nbsp;in Zeven, Germany. *Advance Reservations Strongly Encouraged.* -Museum Member savings apply.
