Collection: Allen Say Collection

In 2000, JANM presented Allen Say’s Journey: The Art and Words of a Children’s Book Author, the first retrospective exhibition of the art of Allen Say, award-winning children’s book author and illustrator. His drawings, watercolor paintings, and prose explore themes of longing, belonging, and the meaning of “home.” Through the internal conflicts of his characters and their search for identity and self-discovery, one can glimpse into Say’s own life journey.
