Guided Tour

Cartoonmuseum Basel

Sunday guided tour in French

26 September 2021 | 2.00 PM - 3.00 PM

The retrospective at Cartoonmuseum Basel spans over 50 years, looking back on the impressive career of British cartoonist Posy Simmonds: first female illustrator at The Guardian, working there since the 1970s, many extremely popular children’s books, first British graphic novel, several albums adapted into live-action films and much more. This guided tour in French with Jessica Voelke introduces you to a great artist, stopping off at all the stations along the route that her humorous and socio-critical oeuvre has taken.

Institution

The Cartoonmuseum Basel is the only museum of its kind devoted exclusively to satirical art – from the caricature to the comic. The Late Gothic building on its historic site also includes an unexpected new building by Herzog & de Meuron. Varying, attractively designed exhibitions on political and social themes show the considerable scope of the humorous drawing and the great diversity of artistic techniques. Equal attention is paid to both classical works, some from the museum’s own stocks, and contemporary works.
