Fodor's Expert Review Museum of American Illustration at the Society of Illustrators

Founded in 1901, the museum of the Society of Illustrators presents its annual "Oscars," a juried international competition, from January to March; the best in children's book illustration is showcased October through December. In between are eclectic exhibitions on comics, science fiction, fashion, animation and 3-D, and historic illustrations from the permanent collection, which also includes the holdings of the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA). In addition, there are lectures, arts education programs for K–12, and an indie comics festival (in April; MoCCA Fest).
