OUR COLLECTION

Totalling approximately 25,000 items, the collection of the Museum of Caricature is the largest compilation of caricatures and satirical press drawings in Poland. The holdings consist predominantly of works on paper, created using a variety of graphic and drawing techniques. A significant, though quantitatively smaller, part of the collection also includes satirical paintings and sculptures. The Museum prides itself on numerous unique and valuable examples of Polish and international caricature, ranging from the 18th century to the present day.

Importantly, the collection also includes a specialist library housing a carefully curated selection of books devoted to the history and theory of caricature. It features catalogues of group and solo exhibitions, Polish and international satirical and humorous periodicals dating from the 19th to the 21st century, as well as documentation relating to the work of Polish caricature artists.
