Deutsches Zinnfigurenmuseum, Tin figure museum in Plassenburg Castle, Kulmbach, Germany.
The German Tin Figure Museum contains over 300,000 individual pieces displayed across 150 detailed dioramas depicting historical events and cultural scenes.
Established in 1929, the museum moved to the arsenal building of Plassenburg Castle in 1953, following the restoration of the fortress after World War II.
The museum's dioramas present miniature recreations of classical hunts, Germanic-Roman encounters, knightly battles, and international historical narratives through painted figures.
Located 35 minutes east of Bamberg, the museum offers seasonal opening hours with admission fees of 3 euros for adults and reduced rates for children.
The museum houses the world's largest diorama, featuring 19,385 painted tin figures that depict the events of St. Conrad's Day in 1553.
