Theatermuseum Meiningen, Theater museum in Meiningen, Germany.

The Theatermuseum displays 276 historical stage designs, costumes, and theatrical documents from the Meininger Hoftheater in a restored former Ducal Riding Hall.

The museum first opened in 1926 to honor Duke Georg II's centenary birthday, later relocating to Schloss Elisabethenburg in 1938 before settling in its current location.

Duke Georg II's leadership of the Meininger Theater between 1874 and 1890 influenced European theater practices and inspired the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The museum presents rotating exhibitions of stage decorations with modern lighting and sound systems to recreate the experience of historical theater performances.

The collection includes a 14-meter-long stage design created by the Brückner brothers, who also produced decorations for Richard Wagner's productions.
