Museum für Puppentheaterkultur

The Museum für Puppentheaterkultur is a collection of marionettes, hand puppets, and stage equipment spread across about 850 square meters of exhibition space. The rooms display various types of puppets and the equipment that puppet performers need for their shows.

The museum preserves puppet theater traditions spanning several centuries through old puppets, documents, and theatrical equipment from different times. The collection shows how this art form continually changed over the years.

The collection shows puppet theater traditions from different regions and how they are still performed today. You can see how various cultures developed their own figures and performance styles.

The best time to visit is Wednesday through Friday when the museum stays open until late afternoon, or on weekends for extended hours. Keep in mind the museum closes completely during February.

The east wing holds the complete collection of Professor Albrecht Roser, which demonstrates different puppet performance techniques. These special pieces also document how puppet performers carried out their art in earlier times.
