London’s Cartoon Museum’s Crowdfunder Needs Your Help To Hit Its Crowdfunding Target

A London Comic Landmark Looking To Get To The Next Level

London’s Cartoon Museum celebrates its 20th anniversary and it has a crowdfunding campaign to fund its activities for the future…

Aim

The Cartoon Museum is 20! To celebrate the Museum’s impact, we are seeking your help to ensure its sustainability into the next decades.

Who we are:

The Cartoon Museum is Britain’s only museum dedicated to cartoon, caricature and comic arts. Our unique collection holds more than 6,000 artworks and a library of 8,000 publications. These works tell the rich 300-year story of British cartooning from the Georgian era to today, showcasing witty humour and challenges to the status quo. We invite everyone to participate in the power of line and laughter.

What we do:

Over the past 20 years, we have proudly:

• Welcomed more than 500,000 local, national and international visitors
• Engaged nearly 40,000 children through our schools, learning and outreach programme
• Platformed more than 200 cartoon, caricature and comic artists through our exhibitions
• Supported the work of new talent through our Young Cartoonist in Residence programme, conferences, shop merchandise and events programme

By 2030 we aim to:

• Target and grow our audiences: engage more people and artists by relaunching our In-Focus exhibits and expanding our family and neurodiverse programmes
• Showcase and safeguard our collections: de-risk our collection and library by moving them to suitable long term storage and unlock public access for research and enjoyment
• Sustain and invest in our organisation: increase our income, develop skills and strengthen our partnership network
