Every day is cat day, if you ask us... 🐈

Throughout “Art of Manga,” you might notice illustrated cats drawn by some of the featured mangaka found on the walls in the exhibition. A handful of these cats can even be found in the manga panels on view!

The recurring motif of cats—be it in manga or the reproductions on the exhibition walls—represent the moral support that cats bring to many mangaka, whose daily work requires solitude and discipline.

Happy #NationalCatDay, everyone!

🎟️ Plan your visit today to see these influential manga artists’ feline friends and this art form up-close through the link in our bio.

I loved seeing all the cats on the wall, guiding us throughout the exhibition. It was such a nice touch!
