The Cartoon Museum

Britain has been making people laugh at drawings for centuries. The Cartoon Museum in London traces that tradition from Georgian satire and Victorian caricature to modern newspaper cartoons, comics and graphic novels. Original artwork fills the galleries, revealing how artists have used exaggeration, parody and visual humour to comment on British society and politics. Alongside its permanent collection, changing exhibitions spotlight individual artists and themes, while the museum’s archive preserves thousands of cartoons and comic artworks that might otherwise disappear from view.
