MARMARA ÜNİVERSİTESİ PENDİK EĞİTİM VE ARAŞTIRMA HASTANESİ

The Cartoon and Humor Museum saves a cultural accumulation, which is the clearest documentation of our social history, from extinction and reflects it to the present day through various events. In addition, the museum communicates with similar organizations in other countries, and famous names of world cartoon art are introduced to Istanbulites through personal or group exhibitions. The Cartoon and Humor Museum is a living museum that is constantly evolving according to the contemporary understanding of museology and therefore can be constantly monitored. The Humor Library and Archive, which is getting richer with the variable and interesting exhibitions opened in the exhibition halls, is worth seeing. Additionally, anyone who wishes can work in a printmaking workshop under the supervision of an expert. Conferences, panels, small concerts and video shows are among the museum's other activities. The museum mainly consists of the following units:

• EXHIBITION HALLS: There are two types of exhibitions that complement each other in the museum. Permanent exhibition: This is the section where the stages of Turkish Cartoon from its beginning to the present are explained with examples and documents.
