An impressive collection of over 300 original masks - or "larvae" - from all over the carnival world awaits visitors in the atmospheric castle vaults. A special highlight is the International Parlour, which brings together carnival traditions from Switzerland, France, Germany, Venice and Tyrol. For young guests, there is the cheerful Clown Parlour, where they can play to their heart's content. You can also marvel at the artistic paintings on large display boards.
Theo Hany (1924-2012) is the man behind this unique jester show. He invested 20 to 40 hours of work for each of his detailed "fool's children" - not a speck or blätzle is missing from the Swabian-Alemannic costumes. For over 35 years, Hany dedicated his free time to this collection, which is now considered a true jewel of carnival culture.
