Explore the ExhibitWelcome to the exhibit, James A. Michener: A Living Legacy at the James A. Michener Art Museum. The museum was named in honor of this Pulitzer Prize-winning author and Doylestown native. This is a permanent exhibit on the author, which recreates his Bucks County office where he wrote Tales of the South Pacific. This room features the desk, chair, typewriter, dictionary and other objects from the office in James A. Michener's Bucks County home where he lived and worked for more than 35 years. It was at this desk that he wrote some of his best-known fiction and non-fiction works, including Sayonara, The Floating World, Caravans, and Sports in America. Other objects on this desk include two autographed baseballs from the Baltimore Orioles, his dog license issued to him in 1965 for his 9-year-old terrier, his Gypsy Witch Fortune Telling Playing Cards, and his Doylestown High School T-Shirt!
