The Wilhelm Busch Museum (Deutsches Museum für Karikatur und Zeichenkunst Wilhelm Busch) in Hanover covers the life and times of the famous poet and designer after which it's named.
Founded in 1937, the museum is housed in the attractive 18th-century Georgenpalais in Herrenhausen Gardens. Along with permanent displays of caricatures and comic art, the museum is home to the world's largest collection of Busch's work.
A particular highlight is a unique collection of more than 700 caricatures of Napoleon, as well as examples of satirical art dating back some four centuries. In addition to regular visiting exhibits, the museum hosts educational workshops, music concerts, literary and culinary events, as well as programs geared to children.
