Hark, ’90s nostalgia pilgrims: There’s a Nicktoons museum exhibit now

The exhibit—which runs from April 16 to May 22—will feature sketches, production art, and videos from shows like Doug, Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko’s Modern Life. It’ll also feature a handful of larger installation pieces, including a living room-esque viewing space for people to indulge their inner children in, and which some poor docent is going to have to spend their entire day keeping clear of PB&J residue, Doritos dust, and pot.

The August 11, 1991 launch of the Nicktoons block wasn’t just a landmark date in the history of football-headed paternal mysteries and tinkling Mark Mothersbaugh theme tunes; it also represented the kids’ network’s first real stab at producing its own original animated programming. To celebrate the milestone, the gallery is also offering up a Q&A with animator Arlene Klasky, co-creator of Rugrats, and Jim Jinkins, creator of Doug, which is set for the exhibit’s opening on April 16.
