Museum of Saxon Folk Art with Puppet Theater Collection

The Saxon Folk Art Museum displays regional crafts including carved objects from Ore Mountains, embroidered textiles from Lusatia, and traditional Sorb costumes throughout its halls.

The museum opened its doors on September 8, 1913, inside the Jägerhof building, which dates back more than 400 years in Dresden's architectural landscape.

The upper floor contains over 200-year-old marionettes, fairground hand puppets, and Bauhaus theatre figures, forming one of the largest puppet collections worldwide.

Located at Köpckestraße 10, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, with adult tickets priced at 5 euros.

The museum functions as Germany's only institution where visitors learn traditional crafts through hands-on activities, including furniture making from newspaper and jewelry creation.
