Fenimore Art Museum looks at 25 years of ‘Arthur’

By PATRICK DEWEY• Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

Television shows, books and the artwork in them have the power to teach life lessons and transport viewers back in time. This is the case with the children’s TV show and book series “Arthur,” about a talking aardvark, his sister, D.W., and his classmates.

The Fenimore Art Museum is marking the 25th anniversary of “Arthur,” a cartoon TV show, with the exhibit “Believe in Yourself: What We Learned from Arthur,”
