WonderCon Anaheim

Comic-Con Museum
The Comic-Con Museum is planned as a permanent, year-round operation in Balboa Park that will manifest the same kinds of ideas, values, exhibits, and programs that have driven the Comic-Con convention since 1970. The facility will appeal to Comic-Con fans and members of the general public alike and will include strong arts education programming for local schools, focused on visual literacy and preparation for careers in creative industries. The facility is expected to open in 2021 with an annual attendance of 100,000 people.
