I stopped by here on a Saturday and spent a 2 to 3 hours looking at both the paintings for sale and the artifacts. There are two buildings on the property, the art gallery and the other which is the actual museum itself. Before you get to walk around the museum building you have to go inside the art gallery and pay the admission and get a wristband and free pencil. The art gallery has a kitchen in it so I would imagine it was once someones house before the museum was built, the majority of the artwork is of Disney characters ranging in prices from $ 50.00 to 10,000.00 with and without frames. The museum is stuffed to the max with board games, lunchboxes, cups, dolls, 3345 and 78 rpm records, sealed books pez candy dispensers, telephones, guitars and thousands of other cool shit that has to do with cartoons, tv show, movie, book, comic and of course cartoon characters. There are two floors of stuff to see in the museum. If you have nothing better to do on a Saturday(like I did) or any day they are open and like this kind of stuff you should stop by it is a museum that is worth visiting.

I visited this museum. My consumer experience with this business included being subjected to a long-winded blow hard who had no idea what he was talking about. It starts with an actual reading of the rules of the museum, followed by a long pointless story. I was only there to see the artifacts. I tried to browse the museum while the person was talking, but was deemed unacceptable. Frankly, I am too old to put up with this kind of abuse of customers.

I can’t believe this place doesn’t have more reviews; it’s amazing! I went about a year ago, and it was a major highlight of my trip. The smaller entry building showcases items for sale: a lot of cells from Disney and other animation studios as well as a series of Dr. Seuss faux taxidermy(so hilarious). But the real highlight is the larger main building that houses the museum itself; it contains thousands and thousands of toys, collectibles and cartoon advertising from the 1800s to today. You name it and they’ve got it: pez dispensers, Little Orphan Annie, Star Trek, Star Wars, Gumby, Marvel, DC, lunch boxes, Disney, Roy Rogers, the Lone Ranger, Popeye, Barbie, Dick Tracy, toys, toys and more toys… games, accessories, figurines, and so many other items that I am exhausted just thinking about it. All items are apparently from a private collection that is still growing(yay!!) — it’s truly a treasure trove of nostalgic pop culture memorabilia, some of which is so old I didn’t even recognize it. Anyone who loves cartoons and comics would find this museum to be well worth a visit, despite it’s weirdly out-of-the-way location — and if I’m ever in the area again, it will be high on my list of places to revisit. Unilocal does not have enough stars :(

This is like walking down memory lane for all ages! Very cool place. Pay the 5 bucks to see the entire museum. The main part has cells and paintings for sale. The other building is not for sale and has all types of old collectibles. Makes you think about all the stuff your parents threw out on you! Go check your attic! Very fun to see!
