Decorations as far as the eye can see: In the "Haus des Karnevals" on Zollstraße, there are exhibitions on customs on three floors. Uniforms, medals, books and certificates as well as photos from over 60 years of Düsseldorf carnival are on display in the historic house.

The Commitee Düsseldorfer Carneval e.V. was able to acquire the historic - listed - house in the heart of the old town from the city of Düsseldorf in order to set up the office and a permanent exhibition there.

Since 2005, the "Haus des Karnevals" has housed the museum as well as offices. But anyone who expects a lot of frills, hullabaloo or a constant stream of carnival hits is wrong. The rooms are mainly filled with discreetly lit display cases, showcases, but also dolls with beautiful costumes. On the second floor, for example, you can see the photos of all the prince couples, and paintings of the CC presidents, including the now deceased museum initiator Günter Pagalies.
