Set your nose on fire, in honor of Lucille Ball's birthday! She was born September 6, 1911 and is still remembered for her (always on the air somewhere) TV show "I Love Lucy". Can you say "Vitameatavegamin"?

Happy Birthday, Diahann Carroll!
Winner of major awards for outstanding performances on stage and screen, Carroll may be best remembered for her starring role in the ground-breaking TV series, Julia. You had to be very popular to get your face on a steel lunchbox in 1969!

Starting this fall, after nearly 60 years of publication, Mad Magazine will no longer be published on a monthly basis. We will miss those movie parodies and Alfred E. Neuman's eternally goofy grin!

Donald Duck made his screen debut June 9, 1934. The museum has several artifacts from that film which raise the question - WHEN did he get his nose job? #VintageDisney #SillySymphony

Has anyone ever seen Mickey Mouse scarfing down cheese? This is a vital question, as June 4 is National Cheese Day! If any of our museum visitors can find a Mickey toy in our museum with a wedge of cheese in his hand, would you please let us know? No cheese visible in this case!
