Theatermuseum Düsseldorf

The Theatermuseum Düsseldorf is located in the Hofgartenhäuser and holds costumes, props, stage designs, and documents from theatrical productions. The collection includes graphic sheets, autographs, and stage models spanning centuries of German theater history.

The museum began in 1947 as an archive documenting theater productions and later became a public institution. The collection preserves records and artifacts from German stage history.

The museum displays how stage productions shaped German theater culture over the centuries. The exhibitions show the relationship between performers, designers, and audiences through the objects and documents on view.

The museum is open from Tuesday through Sunday and sits centrally in Düsseldorf's Hofgarten area. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the different exhibition sections spread across multiple rooms.

The museum holds one of the largest collections of autographs and graphic documents from German theater history. These original sources show notes and signatures of actors, directors, and other theater artists across different time periods.
