What You Wish Day. The vision is to be the premier destination to
experience cartoon art in all its many forms from around the world,
and a leader in providing insight into the process of creating it.
Through exhibitions, artist appearances, and community outreach
programs, the museum demonstrates how cartoon art entertains,
communicates diversity, and champions self-expression. Opened to the
public at its new location in the fall of 2017, with a breathtaking
view of the San Francisco Bay, the Cartoon Art Museum at 781 Beach
Street in San Francisco is just one block from Aquatic Park, the
Maritime Museum, Ghirardelli Square, and the Hyde Street cable car
turnaround. The 1912 brick building features a beautiful historic
façade, prominent street presence, convenient parking, and easy
access to and from public transportation, for highly visible public
access to the Museum’s nearly 8,000 square feet of spacious
galleries with a screening area, education space, store, library and
collections facility. Our new home is a perfect venue for viewing,
discussing, creating, and interacting with all forms of cartoon art,
and connecting with the artists who make it, against the backdrop of
one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes! Upcoming SF’s
