During its tenure in Greenwich, the museum was originally housed in the Mead Mansion at 384 Field Point Road before relocating to Ward’s Castle on Comly Avenue, which was on the National Register of Historic Places. — an announcement from the Bruce Museum

In addition to displaying pieces from its permanent collection of over 80,000 originals, the museum featured rotating exhibitions including such blockbusters as The Art of Walt Disney Studios, Women and the Comics, The Dick Tracy Exhibit, and Batman – Fifty Years of the Dark Knight. The Celebrity Cartoonist Program hosted live “chalk-talks” on the first Sunday of each month, and included appearances by such luminaries as Art Spiegelman, George Booth, and Jules Feiffer. The Children’s Cartoon Contest was an annual tradition. Brian Walker, a former director of the Museum of Cartoon Art, who has been responsible for more than 70 cartoon exhibitions, is serving as guest curator.
