Exhibits

Our exhibitions highlight the depth, creativity, and cultural significance of cartoon and comics history. The museum features three galleries: a permanent display of highlights from our collection in the Treasures from the Collections exhibit in the Walker Gallery, and two rotating galleries that showcase a variety of themed exhibitions. These rotating exhibitions change two times per year, offering fresh perspectives on comic art, editorial cartoons, graphic novels, and more. Visitors can enjoy a mix of timeless classics and contemporary works, offering a glimpse into the evolution of comics as an art form. There’s always something new to discover!
