Take Your Imagination on an Animation Vacation

Boyer Museum of Animated Carvings features over 65 artistic works of Paul Boyer. Paul is a self taught artist who has been carving for over 60 years. The museum showcases his work from the past 30 years.

Paul's work consists of a working calliope made from cedar, animated hand carved figurines that include people, animals, replicas of planes, cars, engines, farm machinery, and wonderful wire sculptures that have ball bearings riding on a maze of tracks and bouncing on drums. Paul uses soft pine, cedar and walnut for most of his carvings and he hand paints them all. His work ranges from very humorous to very beautiful. You will certainly be amazed.
