Experience 16 hand-painted scenes from children’s literary classics and immerse yourself into a world of wonder!
Welcome to “Pages From Our Youth, The Selfie Museum: A Journey Through Imagination In Books.”
This captivating concept takes the idea of an ordinary selfie museum and elevates it to a whole new level of wonder and nostalgia. Each of the 16 unique installations in the museum will be designed and hand-painted by Claudine herself, bringing iconic scenes from timeless children's books to life with a magical touch.
As visitors step through the museum's entrance, they will find themselves immersed in a world of imagination, where they can not only capture the perfect selfie, but also experience the stories they cherished in their childhoods in an entirely new way, with each installation thoughtfully crafted to preserve the essence and authenticity of each classic tale.
Beyond the visual spectacle, Claudine's design will incorporate interactive elements that engage the imagination of both children and adults. For example, guests can open doors to peek into the wardrobe leading to Narnia from C.S. Lewis's "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" or “harvest” apples that fall from “The Giving Tree.”
The Selfie Museum’s primary goal is to promote literacy and a love for reading among younger visitors, as well as create a positive and nostalgic space for all ages. Throughout the exhibit, snippets of text from the books will be featured, encouraging children and parents to discover these timeless stories together. Each installation will feature a copy of the physical book, to tie it all together.
From the vibrant hues of the illustrations, to the intricate details that transport visitors into the heart of each story, the Selfie Museum promises to be a true celebration of creativity, imagination, and the enduring magic of classic children's tales.
