About Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum

The museum honors Theodor Geisel, a Springfield native known as Dr. Seuss, and presents his stories, characters, and ties to his hometown through hands-on exhibits for all ages. The first floor is offered in both English and Spanish and encourages visitors to play with words, rhymes, and storytelling, and to learn how Geisel helped change how children learn to read. The upstairs area recreates his studio and living room, displaying his real furniture, art supplies, unseen artwork, family photos, letters, and personal belongings, including the stuffed dog he had as a child.
