The Waikato Museum has a neat exhibition on at the moment - The Art of Dr. Seuss.

| The secret art of Dr. Seuss comes to Hamilton |
Dr. Seuss has always been a childhood favourite of mine - but then how can you go wrong with rhyming prose with so much going on on so many levels. To quote Suess: "I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.". The man has a point.
The exhibit goes through many of Seuss' works, ranging from artworks form his books (like sneetches), through to his artworks that weren't drawn for children, through to the unorthodox taxidermy. All up, a really neat exhibit, and one that you can easily spend an hour in - all the better because it is free.
