Description
Exhibition
Austria's only museum for cartoons, caricature and satire can be found in Krems and attracts thousands of visitors to the Wachau region each year. The museum was built by Gustav Peichl and is fully dedicated to the world of humour and satire.
The permanent exhibition “Für immer Deix” (“Deix forever”) presents the oeuvre of German caricaturist Manfred Deix. The exhibition contains samples of his best artwork pieces in watercolour and cartoon as well as still unpublished sketches of Austria's grandmaster of satirical drawing.
