That´s not All Folks!

They are funny. They are clever. They are beautiful and brilliantly well made.
They are the cartoons of Warner Bros. Cartoon art from the golden years from the 1930s through the 1960s and now exhibited in EMMA, Espoo Museum of Modern Art. This is a second time this collection is on view in Europe. 

The large private collection of original artwork and films is owned by the American journalist and author Steve Schneider, who got interested in those almost forgotten treasures and started buying them just before they were of about to be destroyed. Sometimes he had to to ask for a check from his mother who did not understand nor appreciate the idea at all, she found it a waste of money. 

So the mothers do not always know best - the collection of original masterpieces and the creative process of making them is now so valuable that it is kept in high-security storage in the States.
