The museum's premises are an old orangery which was once part of the 18th century Prymas Castle. As the museum only has limited space it does not have a permanent collection on display but instead shows temporary exhibitions based on its holdings.[2] The museum's archives are an open resource to anybody who is interested in the history of caricature.[3]
