A Maurice Sendak Museum will not be coming to the Ridgefield-owned Schlumberger site.  The famed children's author and illustrator lived in Ridgefield until his death in 2012.  Town officials and the Sendak Foundation had been in discussions to possibly turn the Philip Johnson building into a museum. 

But the Foundation decided that the building wouldn't fit their needs and could be too costly for a museum. 

The organization says that Ridgefield would be its first choice to locate a museum and are still looking at other options in town.
