Opened in 2002, the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden was first envisioned when Ted Geisel visited Springfield in 1986. After his death in 1991, his wife Audrey authorized the creation of the memorial and provided major support for the project. In 1996, Ted’s stepdaughter, noted sculptor Lark Grey Dimond-Cates, was selected to make over 30 bronze statues for the Museums’ grounds. So many of the millions of people who visited the Sculpture Garden asked about a Dr. Seuss Museum that the Springfield Museums knew it had to find a way to create the much-requested tribute to Springfield’s native son. On the fifteenth anniversary of the opening of the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden, the Amazing World of Dr. Seuss opened its doors.
