Business Description

Deep in the heart of San Francisco, lives a one-of-a-kind museum that has captured the imagination of cartoon art enthusiasts from all over the world. Welcome to the Cartoon Art Museum, located in the vibrant Yerba Buena Gardens district of San Francisco.

The Cartoon Art Museum is more than just a museum - it's a hub for creativity and imagination. The museum's mission is to ignite imaginations and foster the next generation of visual storytellers by celebrating the history of cartoon art, its role in society, and its universal appeal. The museum demonstrates how cartoon art entertains, communicates diversity, and champions self-expression through its exhibitions, artist appearances, and community outreach programs.

Since 1984, the Cartoon Art Museum has been a "museum without walls," using artwork from private collections and local museums to create exhibitions that showcase the art of storytelling through cartoons. In 1987, the museum secured a permanent home in the heart of San Francisco's vibrant Yerba Buena Gardens, thanks to an endowment from Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. In 1995, the museum moved to a new location on Mission Street, and in 2001, it moved to its current location down the street.

The museum's collection includes over 7,000 original pieces of cartoon art, including comic book pages, newspaper strips, political cartoons, animation cels, and more. Visitors can explore the museum's extensive collection of artwork, attend artist talks and workshops, and participate in the museum's community outreach programs.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of classic comic strips or a casual fan of animated shows, there's something for everyone at the Cartoon Art Museum. Visitors of all ages are invited to discover the magic of cartoon art and witness the power of storytelling through art. Plan your visit to the Cartoon Art Museum today and prepare to be inspired.
