The Museum of Bedtime Cartoons, History museum in Rzeszów, Poland.
The Museum of Bedtime Cartoons is a history museum in Rzeszow, Poland, that displays film puppets, screenplays, storyboards, and slides from Polish and international animated productions for children. The collection consists of original working materials that document how these television series were made.
The museum was founded by Wojciech Jama and opened in March 2009 as the first institution in Poland dedicated to animation history. Its creation helped preserve materials that might otherwise have been lost or scattered.
The museum displays characters from Polish television series such as Jacek and Agatka and Bolek and Lolek alongside international characters like Maya the Bee. Visitors who grew up watching these shows can recognize the puppets and props up close.
The museum sits in the center of Rzeszow and is easy to reach on foot or by public transportation from most parts of the city. A visit works well for groups with children, as many displays are presented at a level that younger visitors can engage with directly.
Beyond film materials, the collection includes everyday objects decorated with cartoon characters, from postage stamps to ceramics. These items show how far these animated figures reached into daily life, well beyond the television screen.
