The Tomi Ungerer Museum is the first museum in France to be dedicated entirely to illustration in the 20th and 21st centuries. This area of graphic art, which has been somewhat neglected for a long time, has a long tradition in Strasbourg. The illustrator Tomi Ungerer was also born here in 1931. The work of this versatile and internationally renowned artist covers a wide range of graphic art: illustrations for children's books, advertising drawings, satirical drawings, etc. His book The Three Robbers is now considered a classic of children's literature, and the importance of his entire oeuvre is unanimously recognized in the art world. Tomi Ungerer's political posters and his satirical drawings on social issues are now considered icons of this type of visual art worldwide.
