Easter peep show

Ask around about Peeps — the sugary marshmallow treats that go into many an Easter basket this time of year — and love-'em-or-hate-'em opinions form as fast as those that greet the enduring (and, some might say, equally indestructible) Christmas fruitcake.

But the reception now greeting Peeps on display at the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin is "over the moon," says Lisa Englander, the museum's director of guest relations. "When groups come in, we have to stop the children from running.

They're just so excited."

"And then," she says, "about 10 percent of the people that come in say, 'Why didn't I think of that?'"

What Englander thought of in 2009 was a one-of-a-kind exhibit of curated artworks incorporating, or inspired by, the sticky sweet that, in its original and most familiar forms, resembles a tiny cushy-beaked chick or long-eared bunny in colors of fluorescent yellow, pink, purple or blue.
