PortoCartoon Museum

The PortoCartoon Museum in Porto is dedicated entirely to the art of cartoon, caricature, and illustration, making it one of the few institutions in Europe to focus so specifically on this graphic tradition. The museum is home to a permanent collection of works gathered through decades of the World Press Cartoon competition, an international contest that has brought satirical and editorial art from across the globe to the city. Its galleries trace the development of cartoon as a serious artistic and journalistic form, presenting original drawings alongside prize-winning pieces that reflect political and social history through humour and line.

Situated in Porto, a city with a strong visual arts culture, the museum offers a focused and genuinely distinctive experience for visitors interested in illustration, press art, or the history of graphic satire. Entry tickets are available for the permanent collection, giving access to a body of work that spans continents and decades of cartoon art.
