Founded in 1982, this museum is a tribute to Frankfurt's best-known children's author and doctor, Heinrich Hoffmann, creator of the children's classic, Struwwelpeter ('Shock-headed Peter'). The museum contains letters, drawings, sketchbooks, manuscripts, Struwwelpeter memorabilia and parodies from the 19th and 20th centuries. There is also a collection of Hoffmann's books, photographs, documents and personal items. Hoffmann's work as an advocate for the reformation of psychiatry and as a supporter of the 1848 democratic movement are also dealt with. Initially located the house on Hochstraße in which Hoffmann lived and worked between 1851-59, the collection moved to the Schirm Kunsthalle in 1994. Temporary exhibitions containing contemporary pictures of Struwwelpeter are a regular feature.
