Maurice Sendak's work in the theater is now on display

Maurice Sendak’s other creative endeavors are receiving some time in the spotlight.

The Where The Wild Things Are author spent his later years working as a set and costume designer, and that work is now honored in a new exhibit.

Drawing the Curtain: Maurice Sendak’s Designs for Opera and Ballet runs through October 6 at New York City’s Morgan Library & Museum.

The Smithsonian describes more about this period of Sendak’s career and also previews some of the exhibit's images.
