Originally published in 1969, this children\u2019s classic will be celebrated at the Museum of Contemporary Art, marking 50 years since the book\u2019s Japanese release (Japan was the first place the beloved caterpillar ever appeared in print).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Prepare to feast your eyes upon 180 objects \u2013 all bursting with bold bright colours, playful patterns and Eric Carle\u2019s specially curated collages. Over 27 picture books will also feature, offering a deep dive into the ingenuity of Carle\u2019s imagination. The late American author and illustrator was famed for his fresh take on storytelling; simple shapes are layered with textured hand-painted tissue paper, resulting in whimsical works that were deceptively clever and remain iconic to this day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you even have a childhood if you didn\u2019t turn the hole-punched pages of The Very Hungry Caterpillar?
