"The world’s largest museum devoted solely to illustration will open in
Clerkenwell, London, next week, marking the culmination of a project more than
20 years in the making.
The Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration is the brainchild of celebrated
British illustrator Quentin Blake. Set within the grounds of an 18th-century
waterworks, the centre features three galleries that will host a rolling
programme of exhibitions dedicated to the art of illustration in all its forms.
“I have long dreamt of a permanent place with ‘Illustration’ above the door,
and now the amazing reality is that we have it,” said Blake.
“I am proud to think the centre has my name on it – illustration is a wonderful
universal and varied language. Here we shall celebrate its traditions and
welcome the astonishing diversity of visual language from across the world.
Hurrah!”"
