Caricatura Museum Frankfurt
The Caricatura Museum Frankfurt, located in the historic Leinwandhaus in the city’s old town, is dedicated to the art of satire, caricature, and comic drawing. Opened in 2008, it has established itself as Europe’s only museum devoted entirely to comic art, celebrating humor as a vital cultural force. Its permanent exhibition focuses on the works of the “New Frankfurt School,” a group of influential cartoonists and satirists including F. W. Bernstein, Robert Gernhardt, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler, and F. K. Waechter, whose sharp wit and distinctive style shaped post-war German satire. Alongside these classics, the museum hosts changing exhibitions that highlight contemporary artists and international voices in comic art, ensuring a lively and evolving program. The setting itself, a medieval building juxtaposed with modern displays, underscores the museum’s playful yet serious mission: to show how humor, irony, and caricature reflect society and challenge conventions. With its mix of permanent treasures and temporary surprises, the Caricatura Museum offers visitors an engaging and thought-provoking experience that affirms Frankfurt’s reputation as the capital of German satire.
