Caricature and Cartoon Museum, Conversion and New Building
The cartoon museum is a tiny museum which has been in operation since 1976 without any government support. It organises exchange exhibitions featuring works from its own collection as well as loans from other museums. The site, which dates back to the Middle Ages, is a narrow, elongated plot measuring 6 x 25 metres. The museum is housed in two different buildings connected by a passage – one of them is several centuries old, the other is a new building. The entrance, curator’s office, library and a few small exhibition rooms are in the old building. Each storey has different details, wooden floors and wall panels that make them each quite distinct. The design of the three-storey new building is much simpler and stands as a more integral piece. Each storey has a single, open area measuring 6 x 8 metres. In addition to the walls there are display cases for the exhibits (drawings, prints, photographs, smaller objects). The old and new buildings stand on either side of a small courtyard. The new building consists of three concrete slabs that support the walls of the exhibition areas and a glass wall on the courtyard side.
