Sketch Museum
The Sketch Museum has been operating in Athens since 1994, on the initiative of the Municipality of Athens and a group of Greek cartoonists. The main collection of the Museum is the Permanent Exhibition of Sketches, mainly cartoons, from the 19th century until today. There are also permanent and temporary exhibitions of cartoons, animations, comics and other types of sketches by Greek and foreign cartoonists. The museum also has a library and an archive. The Sketch Museum is housed in the neoclassical Treiber Villa near the New Town Hall. Treiber was a German philhellene who came to Greece during the revolution of 1821 and stayed on as chief physician of the Greek army. Some of the museum’s most important exhibits are Comics by K. Grammatopoulos “Perseus and Andromeda“, written by V. Rotas, from the “Classics Illustrated” series of Atlantida.
