Tomi Ungerer Museum-International Illustration Centre

This guide to the Tomi Ungerer Museum in Strasbourg follows the children's book illustrator's fall from grace, when his 1969 collection of explicit erotic drawings collided with the wholesome image built by classics like The Three Robbers. It traces the confrontation with the American Library Association, the outrage that followed, and Ungerer's retreat to a farmhouse in Ireland after publishers and libraries turned away. It also covers how the city opened this museum inside the 1884 Villa Greiner in 2007, gathering his children's tales, satire and erotic work under one roof.
