Overview
- The Caricatura Museum announced the move on what would have been Loriot’s 102nd birthday, confirming receipt of the artistic estate as a long-term loan.
- Items already in Frankfurt include original drawings, the artist’s desk, record and pipe collections, and a box of keys, alongside archival material.
- Studio Loriot, previously based in Berlin, has relocated to Frankfurt as part of the consolidation of the estate.
- Inventorying and documentation are in progress, and officials have not yet determined the site or opening date for a permanent public display.
- Museum director Martin Sonntag called the loan a great honor, and officials cited the 2023/24 ‘Ach was’ exhibition with roughly 130,000 visitors as key to building trust with the von Bülow family.
