Review №1

The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA) is a not-for-profit arts organization and former museum in New York, USA, devoted to comic books, comic strips and other forms of cartoon art. MoCCA sponsored events ranging from book openings to educational programs in New York City schools, and hosted classes, workshops and lectures. MoCCA was perhaps best known for its annual small-press comic convention, known as MoCCA Fest, first held in 2002. MoCCA was founded by Lawrence Klein in October 2001. It was located at 594 Broadway in New York City. On July 9, 2012, MoCCA announced that it would be closing its physical location, effective immediately, due to fundraising difficulties. On August 2, 2012, MoCCA announced plans to transfer their assets to the Society of Illustrators, providing MoCCA with a street-level location in the Societys Upper East Side building. It was confirmed that MoCCA Fest would continue to exist.

This is not a museum of comic and cartoon. This is a dull exhibit of Morden illustrations. Very disappointing; a waste of time and money. Don’t go under this false pretence.

Waste of time we came here and spoke to the person on the phone and asked if it was a comic book exhibit we paid our money and it was a small hallway and dining room with pictures of comics on the walls where is the space if you come here just say you’re going to lunch or dinner and you can see the whole exhibition for free. Took 5 minutes to see everything for 50 dollars.

Seems to be the same as museum of illustration. The month I were there the focus was on illustration so not that much comics. (And no signs, hard to find the right place)

It was alright. Online reviews and the website made it look like it would be a much bigger exhibit, but in actuality... It was just a small hallway of art.Dont get me wrong though, it was a decent exhibit and I enjoyed my time. I wouldnt go back though as it was $10 for about 30 minutes of my time (and that wasnt me rushing the museum).
