The State Historical Society of Missouri is currently showing a cartoon exhibit titled Donkeys & Elephants: Animal Symbols in Political Cartoons. The exhibit opened May 22 and will stay up until November 2012. Here’s more from their website:
In the United States certain animals have come to be associated with certain political parties and concepts. This exhibition explores the creative use of animal symbols in American political cartoons and ephemera from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries. To understand this symbolism, viewers must learn a visual language that changes decade by decade.
The State Historical Society still has Thomas Hart Benton’s Year of Peril series exhibition up until September 15th 2012.
Update: The Columbia Missourian has a story about the exhibit.
