Cartoon Art Museum reviews
25 I took the kidlet here on a Groupon gift and we found it lacking. Lacking variety mostly. We had a bit of fun at each of the art/activity stations.
Overall it was a quick visit and won't visit again unless there are a few new exhibits with more variety and better presentation.
Came for the Batman exhibit, but was impressed with all the exhibits. Friendly staff and nice layout.
Very cool and new artist all the time. We even got free posters this day, which was extra special. Employees were very nice.
Lovely place to spend time if you need some silent during your SF Trip. For only $10 it's worth the time, and include the Library of cartoons and graphic novels
Interesting, thorough and well curated with 3 different types of work shown. Artist notes on the John Kascht pieces really added to the exhibition. Well stocked and staffed readers /artist room too.
Small but very good it's worth the price of admission Isa check it out if you are in the area!
Small place and the staff were more interested in themselves or each other than attending the visitors.
Un pequeño museo especializado ubicado en la zona de más afluencia turística de San Francisco. Se puede recorrer en una hora pero su curaduria es un deleite para los fanáticos de los cómics y la animación. Los bocetos expuestos son verdaderas obras de arte
A small specialized museum located in the most tourist area of San Francisco. You can walk in an hour but his curaduria is a delight for fans of comics and animation. The exposed sketches are true works of art
The BEST! We were in SF for a visit and my son joined the Saturday kids' class. We will be back.
A bit too small and not enough exhibits. Great for kids though because they have a lot of coloring pages and tables for them. Teacher and military discounts available
4-5 stars for those who like comics,
3 for average person.
A bit on the short side, but still a bit fun for a half hour or less.
Go when there is a sale, not for 20usd.
Really enjoyable small museum dedicated to comic art. Special exhibits (I had the pleasure of seeing one on March, the story of John Lewis's experiences as a civil rights icon-excellent!) as well as permanent collection displays. Well worth a visit!
This is a small gallery, but great outgoing knowledgeable staff, and an excellent variety of shows seem to pass through here. The gift shop is very nice as well.
Unpretentious small museum. Well displayed exhibits of several select topics. Marvel and MARCH were featured on my visit. Check for current exhibits. Limited days and hours, no evenings. Reduced entry fees for SF residents, seniors, children, students, military: most people.
Was a smaller museum than I expected. The small space is put to good use, but really can not support a large exhibit of great cartoons. There is a few historically significant cartoons exhibited in the reading room. The size might make this an ideal intro to museums for younger family members.
Calling themselves a “museum” is a fallacy. I wanted to love this place. However, they had an incorrect placard to a piece of art. Completely unacceptable for a museum to not fact check.
False Advertizing. This is not in any form a museum. It is a gallery. It is just new artists displaying their work. There is no information about cartoon history, or anything educational. The term "Cartoon" is misleading too.it is soley comic book art, nothing at all about animation. I felt duped. It should be called "contemporary comic book art gallery displaying comics nobody has ever heard of".
Very nice place to visit for afficianados of Cartoon, Comic & Animation Art. HOWEVER, all visitors should be advised that the museum's Mission Street location closed its doors in 2015, and the museum has since moved to a new location near Fisherman's Wharf, and is now OPEN!
Very small for a museum. I think it's more like a gallery. But the theme is lovely. Reasonably priced
Great new space near Giradelli Square near the water. No bookstore yet, but it is apparently coming soon. Enthusiastic, knowegable person at front desk. Exhibits were interesting; however, they need more curating-for example, the Hell Boy tribute exhibit would have been improved by adding some information about why each of the artists created the tribute art that they did, rather than just listing their names and backgrounds.
