Description

Comedian and author Alexei Sayle meets his friend, graphic novelist Oscar Zarate, at the Cartoon Museum in London, where they explore highlights from a collection of thousands of cartoons. Picking out some of their favourite artists, they follow the evolution of the art form, from William Hogarth and Thomas Rowlandson’s depictions of Georgian society to the present day. Chatting to the museum’s experts, they look at how different drawing styles bring social and political commentary to life, and even make their own cartoon.Notes:The exhibition ‘This Exhibition is a Work Event!’ is at the Cartoon Museum until 16 April 2023. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe.Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the National Art Pass – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country.
