The Little Prince: Taking Flight explores the visionary artistry and timeless wisdom of a story that inspires its readers to encounter new realms of experience with a leap of the imagination. Students will view Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s original manuscript of The Little Prince and consider relationships between text and image through further exploration of his watercolors, drawings, and other treasured items. For those who have known the Little Prince for some time, or for those just making his acquaintance, he is sure to captivate all and provide an opportunity to examine the creative process of writing and illustrating a book.
Please note that this exhibition is housed in a small gallery. Only 1 group of up to 15 students may visit at a time. Programs will be paired with a visit to J. Pierpont Morgan's historic library.
The Morgan Library & Museum's school programs are anchored in teaching philosophies that define education as a way of building children's confidence as self-reliant seekers of knowledge and independent-minded creative thinkers.
In a classroom setting, the K–12 curriculum in the sciences and humanities is rarely studied through direct observation of primary sources, such as Mesopotamian seals and tablets, medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, rare printed books, master drawings, and period architecture.
Please note that for in-person field trips, we limit groups to 15 for a more interactive and intimate experience. We can accommodate no more than 4 groups, or 60 students, at one time in our historic library.
