National Cartoon Museum (Visit this link)

The collection consists of over 200,000 original drawings from all genres of cartoon art - comic strips, comic books, animation, editorial, advertising, sport, caricature, greeting cards, graphic novels, illustration, sculpture and other related disciplines. We have the largest collection of comic books in the world , 10,000 books, 1,000 hours of film and tape, CD's, DVD's and many unique display figures, toys and collectibles. Our Cartoon Hall of Fame is unique in the world, and our traveling exhibitions have been on display as far away as Hong Kong. The highlights of the collection are the very first drawings of Mickey Mouse, made by Walt Disney and his associate Ub Iworks, that they created for Walt's planned film "Plane Crazy". They were appraised, after their provenance was established, at $3.7 million. The Museum's management conservatively estimates the current value of the collections to be worth at least $20 million.
