Exhibits
Semyan's Storybook Collection
This exhibit, held in conjunction with the Storybook Playhouse exhibit, features parts of John and Kim Semyan's 10,000-piece collection of figures from popular children's stories. Designer Michael Hamilton from the Noel Christmas Store in Dallas is the mastermind behind this summer's decorating within the DeGolyer Estate. Guests of The Dallas Arboretum will be transported to the pages of beloved fairy tales with the help of various decorative vignettes that will be placed throughout the DeGolyer Estate. Each vignette, nestled within festive decorations, will tell beloved stories and nursery rhymes including "Rumplestiltskin," "The Owl and the Pussycat," "Hansel and Gretel," "The Old Woman in the Shoe" and many more. Adults and children alike can read the story as they see the characters set the scene from some of the most enchanting stories in history. The pieces of figurative art that tell each story are handcrafted by renowned artist Faith Wick.
This event or venue can accommodate children with special needs.
