The Puppenmuseum Dresden is a museum in which nostalgic toys , including numerous dolls , are exhibited. It opened in December 2002 and closed indefinitely in 2010.
Until 2010, the museum was located in the "Villa Romantika", a Dresden villa from the Wilhelminian era on Königsbrücker Straße in the Äußere Neustadt district . The Schauburg cinema is right next door . Opposite the villa is Erich Kästner's former home , to which a museum is dedicated nearby . Other Dresden museums in the area are the Kraszewski Museum and the Military History Museum of the Bundeswehr .
The museum's permanent collection consists mostly of more than 500 dolls and their accessories, including toy shops , 35 dollhouses and other recordable miniature models , most of which were established between 1850 and the 1950s. The focus is on German porcelain dolls . Also celluloid dolls , Kathe Kruse dolls and bears by Steiff and Bing and other types of soft toys are exhibited on an area of about 120 square meters.
In the museum you have the opportunity to tinker dolls' heads yourself, to have defective dolls and teddy bears repaired by a "doll doctor " and to have the value of dolls and teddy bears assessed. The museum director is Pavica Gottschild.
