The Jack Kirby Museum and Research Center is organized exclusively for educational purposes; more specifically, to promote and encourage the study, understanding, preservation and appreciation of the work of Jack Kirby by:
illustrating the scope of Kirby's multi-faceted career,
communicating the stories, inspirations and influences of Jack Kirby,
celebrating the life of Jack Kirby and his creations, and
building understanding of comicbooks and comicbook creators.
To this end, the Museum will sponsor and otherwise support study, teaching, conferences, discussion groups, exhibitions, displays, publications and cinematic, theatrical or multimedia productions.
This is a detail from a photo of the Kirby family at a family function in 1961. The scan was provided by Neal KIRBY, and then cropped and restored by Rand HOPPE. Permission must be obtained from the Jack Kirby Estate for all uses of this photo.
Help the Kirby Museum manifest itself in the physical realm, by opening a "Pop-Up" Museum on the Lower East Side, near where Kirby was born and raised.
