This museum housed in the tower of Munich's 14th century fortifications is dedicated to Karl Valentin (1882 - 1948), Germany's Charlie Chaplin, and his partner Liesl Karlstadt (1892-1960). You can view pictures, posters and personal affects of the man considered by his fans to be a comical genius. If you don't understand his brand of humour, it's still worth a visit if you like medieval architecture. Note the photo of the war-weary tower in 1945 with a sign on it that reads (in English no less): 'Death is so permanent - drive carefully'.
