About the Exhibition

Explore the legacy of America's oldest continuously drawn daily cartoon. Since 1901, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Weatherbird has offered wit, commentary, and charm to readers across generations. With special insights from current Weatherbird artist Dan Martin, this exhibit showcases the evolution of the iconic character through original drawings from nearly each of the artists who have taken the bird under their wing, plus Weatherbird memorabilia, scrapbooks, fan art, wood carvings, and more.
