Mainzer Fastnachtsmuseum, Carnival museum in Mainz, Germany
The Mainzer Fastnachtsmuseum displays carnival artifacts, costumes, and documents across 350 square meters in a renovated former provisions magazine building.
The museum, which opened in 2004, traces the evolution of Mainz Carnival from its organized beginnings in 1837 through political-literary traditions.
The exhibition features carnival caps, medals, scepters, guard uniforms, and video recordings that represent the regional carnival celebrations.
Located at Neue Universitätsstraße 2, the museum opens Monday through Thursday from 9:00 to 17:00 and Friday from 9:00 to 14:30.
The museum maintains over 27,000 exhibits, including a song booklet shaped like a jester cap from the television show 'Mainz bleibt Mainz.'
