Kölner Karnevalsmuseum, Carnival culture museum in Ehrenfeld, Germany
The Cologne Carnival Museum spans 1,400 square meters and presents exhibits about carnival traditions through modern multimedia displays and historical artifacts.
The museum opened in 2005, incorporating collections previously stored by various carnival societies and items from the former small museum of the Cologne Carnival Festival Committee.
