Museums

  • The Wilhelm-Busch house museum, Mechtshausen, Germany is located in a former rectory, and it served as his residence during the last years of life (1898–1908).
  • The Wilhelm-Busch-Mill in Ebergötzen, Germany is located in the village where he lived in from 1841 to 1845. His life there and friendship with the millers son, Erich Bachmann, may have been part of the inspiration for the "Max and Moritz" story

Famous quotes containing the word museums:

    Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters.... We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
    Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

    In museums and palaces we are alternate radicals and conservatives.
    Henry James (1843–1816)
