According to Anderson's DVD commentary, E. L. Konigsburg's book From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, in which the characters Claudia and Jamie run away to live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, inspired the story of Margot and Richie hiding out in a museum.
The house used in the film is located near the famous Sugar Hill in the Hamilton Heights section of Harlem in Manhattan, New York City. The address is 339 Convent Avenue.
The paintings in Eli's apartment are by Mexican artist Miguel Calderón.
