You enter the museum through the museum shop. Here you can find tons of older issues of your favorite comics (more than just Donald Duck) but also tons of artwork that is for sale. When you walk into the exhibit, on the right you will find an introduction to the exhibit. Here you will quickly notice that this exhibit is multi-lingual: Dutch and English. This is especially handy for fans from abroad.<\/p>\n

You start the exhibit tour along the outer walls where you will find original drawings of the comics and covers that have been used for the Weekly Comic, but also for additional editions. Each board has tons of information on what you are seeing at that moment, but also additional information on what was happening in those years with the publication of the weekly comic.<\/p>\n

On the inside of the floor, you will find a few showcases, showing you tons of additional artifacts, including the original cover of the Museum guide drawn by Daan Jippes. In one of the other showcases, you can also see the log book that was used by the Dutch editorial staff to keep track of all the stories they published. The Dutch story codes always start with an H (for Holland) and you can see that the log book was used for H8001 to H98304. While this also includes short stories and covers, this is a whopping 90303 publications in about 20 years!<\/p>\n

The Donald Duck, 70 years a Happy Weekly Comic, exhibit will be at the Museum of Comic Art (MoCA) from June 4 until October 30, 2022. We spent about 60 minutes walking around the exhibit, while we did take some time to look at the documentaries, we didn’t watch them all. I do think when you want to watch them all, and take some time to read comic books you would need about 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

We spent about 45 minutes at the museum shop, but that was mostly because we started chatting with the proprietor of the museum who is super nice and knows a lot about comics.<\/p>\n

The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 12 pm to 5 pm. Tickets cost 8 euros for adults, and 4 euros for ages 6 to 17, and 5 and younger can enter for free.<\/p>\n

Parking is close by, and after the museum and shop visit, you can always wander out to the boulevard where you can find some great restaurants.<\/p>\n
