Item Description

Don't know what to do on a rainy day?  Inspire your budding artist and check out this amazing Cartoon Art Museum!  Located across from Aquatic Park, open Thursday - Tuesdays

Founded in 1984, the Cartoon Art Museum has something for everyone—from comic strips, comic books and anime to political cartoons, graphic novels and underground comix. People of all ages can view original cartoon art at exhibitions and screenings, produce their own comics and animation at classes and workshops, research deeply into our collection and library, and mix and mingle with professional and aspiring cartoonists. This unique institution houses approximately 7,000 original pieces in our permanent collection and attracts more than 30,000 visitors annually.

The Cartoon Art Museum is home to over 6,000 pieces of original artwork, including cartoons, comic books, comic strips, editorial cartoons, concept sketches, color roughs, and tear sheets. The Cartoon Art Museum is also one of very few museums worldwide with a permanent collection of original animation art. Animation holdings include cels, drawings, background paintings and illustrations from TV series and films produced by Warner Bros., Walt Disney Co., Filmation, Nevlana Studios and Hanna-Barbera, among many others.

Various selections from our permanent collection are displayed in the museum on a rotating basis through curated exhibitions. Certain selections are also currently available as traveling exhibitions.
