James A. Michener: Traveler/Citizen/Writer
In 2007, James A. Michener, America's beloved writer and Doylestown, Pennsylvania's most famous son, would have turned 100 years old. In recognition of this milestone, the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown will celebrate its namesake with this special exhibition. The exhibition is curated by Stephen J. May, author of the recent biography Michener: A Writer's Journey and Erika-Jaeger-Smith, curator of exhibitions at the Michener Art Museum.

Michener (February 3, 1907 - October 16, 1997) was a complex and gifted man who, in a sense, led many different lives. He is best summed up by the three words he chose for his epitaph: traveler, citizen, writer.

His renown is mostly derived from the written word, as the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of more than forty books of both fiction and non-fiction, many of them bestsellers. He also was a "man of the world"—someone who spent the better part of his life educating himself about our planet through his constant travels. And he was a citizen in the best sense of the word: dedicated to having his life make a difference, through public service, philanthropy, collecting and numerous related activities.

James A. Michener: Traveler/Citizen/Writer focuses on these three key aspects of his life using photographs, objects and paintings from the collection of the Michener Art Museum, including original artwork created by Michener as well as his maps, postcards, stamp collection and material from his service with NASA.

The James A. Michener Art Museum, housed in the 1884 renovated Bucks County Prison, is located in the cultural hub of Doylestown Borough, PA, adjacent to the Bucks County Free Library Center and across the street from the Mercer Museum. Named in honor of the Doylestown native and Pulitzer Prize-winning author, the museum opened to the public in September 1988 at a ceremony attended by Mr. Michener and his wife, Mari.

In 1992, a fund-raising campaign was launched to expand the museum with larger exhibition galleries and state-of-the-art storage vault. The newly expanded museum opened to the public on July 18, 1993.

Further expansion includes the Mari Sabusawa Michener Wing (named for the author's late wife who died in 1994) which opened to the public in October 1996.

The Michener Art Museum has intimate galleries filled with work by well-known regional and national artists; a permanent collection features 19th and 20th century American art.
