The Cartoon Museum

The Cartoon Museum is a museum in London for political cartoons, comic strips and books. As well as holding a collection of cartoons it has a library of over 3000 books relating to the subject.

The museum features over 1200 exhibits, and is, as of 2006, curated by Anita O'Brien, who noted "There has never been a cartoon museum here... In spite of the very strong historical tradition here, there has always been a very strong ambivalence towards comic art." [1] It was opened on the 23 February 2006 by the Duke of Edinburgh.[2] In its mission statement the museum declares itself "dedicated to preserving the best of British cartoons, caricatures, comics and animation, and to establishing a museum with a gallery, archives and innovative exhibitions to make the creativity of cartoon art past and present, accessible to all for the purposes of education, research and enjoyment." [3]
