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, Frankfurt in the Altstadt. The permanent exhibition shows works by F. W. Bernstein, Robert Gernhardt, Chlodwig Poth, Hans Traxler, and F. K. Waechter, including literary works and films. It is complemented by readings, book presentations and other events. 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").
