Deutsches Märchen- und Wesersagenmuseum
Deutsches Märchen- und Wesersagenmuseum, Literary museum in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.
The museum displays an extensive collection of German fairy tales and regional legends through illustrations, manuscripts, and artifacts from the Weser region.
Karl Paetow, a folklorist and writer, donated his private collection of fairy tales and legends to Bad Oeynhausen in 1973, establishing the museum's foundation.
The collection includes 16,000 volumes of fairy tales from around the world in German editions, along with literature about regional and local history.
Located in Villa Paul Baehr near the Kurpark, the museum opens Wednesday through Sunday with split hours from 10:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 17:00.
Students from Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences created fairy tale costumes for the museum during Bad Oeynhausen's 150th spa anniversary in 1998.
