Caricatura Museum Frankfurt

In 2000, a group called Caricatura of the Historical Museum, Frankfurt, began to prepare a museum for comic art in Frankfurt.

The Caricatura Museum was opened on 1 October 2008 in the Leinwandhaus [de] in the Altstadt.

The permanent exhibition shows works by F. W. Bernstein, Robert Gernhardt, Chlodwig Poth [de], Hans Traxler [de], and F. K. Waechter, including literary works and films.

The trade mark of the museum is a bronze sculpture in front of the building by Hans Traxler.

The Elch sculpture carries the names of the eight most important representatives of the Neue Frankfurter Schule, and a two-line poem by F. W. Bernstein, "Die schärfsten Kritiker der Elche / waren früher selber welche" ("The harshest critics of the moose / used themselves to be some").
