Television shows, books and the artwork in them have the power to teach life lessons and transport viewers back in time. This is the case with the children’s TV show and book series “Arthur,” about a talking aardvark, his sister, D.W., and his classmates.
The Fenimore Art Museum is marking the 25th anniversary of “Arthur,” a cartoon TV show, with the exhibit “Believe in Yourself: What We Learned from Arthur,”
The exhibit opened Saturday, Aug. 7, and is on display through Dec. 31.
The Fenimore worked directly with author and series creator Marc Brown on all aspects of the exhibit, according to museum officials.
