MAZZA MUSEUM

The Mazza Museum provides educators with the tools to inspire excitement for reading in the classroom and beyond. Acting as a resource, the Museum offers workshops, research materials, teaching aids and story kits that assist with the learning process. At Mazza conferences, educators have the opportunity to hear stories directly from Mazza artists about their inspirations and enjoy sessions on literature, education, writing, illustration and behind the scenes at the Museum... In 1982, the late Jerry Mallett, Ed.D., former professor of education at Findlay College, proposed the idea to build a museum dedicated to the art of picture books. With four pieces of art provided through a gift from the late Dr. August ‘41 and Aleda Mazza ‘41, the collection began. The Mazza Museum at the University of Findlay, originally housed in the basement of Shafer Library, was formally dedicated on Jan. 23, 1983.
