Museum Of Comic & Cartoon Art
The gallery of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art is located at 594 Broadway, Suite 401 (4th Floor) between Houston and Prince Streets, in the heart of Manhattan's famed SoHo arts district. The Museum has bigger plans however. The purpose of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art will be the collection, preservation, study, education, and display of comic and cartoon art. Every genre of the art will be represented: animation, anime, cartoons, comic books, comic strips, gag cartoons, humorous illustration, illustration, political illustration, editorial cartoons, caricature, graphic novels, sports cartoons, and computer-generated art. The main goal of the museum will be to educate the public about comic and cartoon art, how it is crafted, and how it reflects history. What does the art tell us about the time period that it was created in? How does it stand the test of time? What First Amendment issues regarding content come into play? How does censorship determine what is (and isn't) published?

Pros: expansive comics art, non-gimmicky feel
