A hidden gem on campus is this museum, which I was introduced to in my Humanities Freshman Seminar class. We had the honor of going on an archives tour in which we got to go behind the scenes in the controlled climate of the storage files. I couldn’t believe how many cartoons and papers were being preserved and sorted in this space, along with some very special pieces in cartoon history. I hadn’t known much about cartoons before this event but gained a new appreciation for them. Now I go visit new exhibits on my own. I really loved the witty feminism of Barbara Shermund.
