Puzzle: Another Wonderland, Abram Champanier's Alice Mural: The Empire State Building

The exhibition celebrates the rescue and decades-long restoration of Alice of Wonderland Visiting New York, a major New Deal–era mural cycle created for the children’s ward at Gouverneur Hospital between 1938 and 1940. Commissioned through the Works Progress Administration’s Federal Art Project, the sixteen-panel series reimagined Lewis Carroll’s beloved characters exploring 1930s New York City—from the subway and Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island and Central Park—bringing color, fantasy, and joy to a space dedicated to healing.
