Heinrich Christian Wilhelm Busch (1832 -1908) was a German humorist, poet, illustrator, and painter. He published wildly innovative illustrated tales that remain influential to this day.

The museum was founded in the centre of Hanover, in 1937, by the Wilhelm Busch Society. It was the first museum devoted to the Lower Saxon artist Busch and is located in the Georgengarten in a palace known as the Georgenpalais, dating from around 1780.
