The Lorax. In Dr. Seuss’ own inimitable style, The Lorax includes a variety of fantastical wildlife species such as Brown Bar-ba-loots, Humming-Fish, and Swomee-Swans.
Seuss was not one to shy away from contemporary topics or social commentary. The Lorax is among his most pointed, taking to task a company whose greed causes grave environmental harm. This exhibit combines original art as it probes humanity’s relationship with nature, making a perfect match for the National Museum of Wildlife Art. This exhibition is on loan from the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library & Museum.
