The Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco is the only museum in the western United States dedicated to the preservation and exhibition of cartoon art in all its forms.
Are you a fan of Sunday paper cartoons? In this museum you will feel like your morning coffee ritual lasts several hours. More than a couple of rooms is emblazoned in cartoons, some new, some old school. So bring your wit and leave your kids in the back room, where they show cartoon movies on a old TV. Anyone under ten is probably not tall enough to read the cartoon anyways.
Do not get me wrong, the museum is interesting. You just need to really be into cartoons. My husband and I had a nice time but our two daughters (7 and 11) got tired easily. Luckily the museum is small and you can leave the kids watching some cartoons on the TV while you browse the art.
