The Museum of Bedtime Cartoons, History museum in Rzeszów, Poland.
The Museum of Bedtime Cartoons is a history museum in Rzeszow that displays film puppets, screenplays, storyboards, and slides from Polish and international animated productions for children. The collection features original working materials that document how these television series were created.
The museum was founded by Wojciech Jama and opened its doors in March 2009 as the first institution in Poland dedicated to animation history. This founding created a unique repository for an important chapter in Polish cultural heritage.
The museum displays characters from Polish television series such as Jacek and Agatka and Bolek and Lolek alongside international characters like Maya the Bee. These collections show how deeply these animations shaped the childhood and daily lives of several generations.
The museum is located in the city center and is easy to reach by public transportation. Plan to spend several hours to explore the collections at a relaxed pace, particularly if you want to engage closely with the displays.
The collection extends beyond film materials and includes everyday items decorated with cartoon characters, from postage stamps to ceramics. These objects reveal how popular these animated figures were and how deeply they penetrated daily life.
