The Barker Character, Comic and Cartoon Museum
The Barker Museum houses one of the country's largest collections of character toys & artifacts, spanning fifteen decades of American history. No matter how old or young you are, you will recognize something from your life, whether it's a cap pistol, Partridge Family lunchbox, Star Wars action figure or Donald Duck puzzle. Add to that our life-sized Hulk and larger than life Simpson Family and you have an experience that you won't find anywhere else.

These are all here to see along with tens of thousands of other items of comic strip, cartoon, western, T.V. and advertising memorabilia personally collected by Herb and Gloria Barker over nearly 50 years. Each exhibit contains the current market value of the collectible, although NOTHING IS FOR SALE. Come to recapture some of your old memories or make new ones for your children.

WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING GROUP TOURS of any size. Call Laurie at 203-272-2222 or at 1-800-227-5372, EXT. 238 to book a tour that is unlike any other that your group may have experienced. Each person receives a self-guided tour booklet and a commemorative souvenir. See today's finest animation art in the adjacent Gallery, then tour the extensive grounds to pose for a picture with our character cut-outs. The largest cartoon mural in Connecticut provides another unique photo op.
