Puppentheater-Museum

3 Raghad Shalash - 10 months ago

I was not impressed, this is a very small display not like the other museums found around germany and they also had no option of description in english.
The staff were very friendly and kind that made the visit pleasant.
The museum is good if you ve seen no other puppet museums around europe.
But if your schedule is full, can be skipped.

The place is easy to find on the U bahn lines.

For a puppet lover, this little museum is a MUST.
You have to press the buzzer and push the door in order to get in, and please ask for the English description in order to read and understand the puppets you are seeing.

Then follow the numbered cases through the museum.
Each glass case has stunning antique dolls, that were once used in plays around Europe.

Like all puppet museums around the world, they are not for children.
Puppet shows were used to bring to the people in the street political commentaries and to shed light upon the human condition.

The puppet makers are true artists and the wood and fabric is their medium.

My husband and I LOVED every moment of our visit and would highly recommend it to all while visiting Berlin.

One of four puppet museums scattered throughout Germany, the Puppentheater-Museum in Berlin holds a collection of more than 300 different puppets in a glass-roofed former sculptor’s studio on Karl-Marx-Strasse.

Varying widely in shapes and sizes, many of the different puppets in the museum’s collection represent fairytale figures such as devils, dragons or princes.

In addition to rotating their collection of puppets at least annually, the Puppentheater-Museum holds readings and workshops for both children and adults and puts on shows with the puppets in a small theater space. Tour guides at the museum put together special tours depending on the age and size of visiting groups

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum, worth a visit. Compared to the size of the place, many puppets can be viewed without being crowded. When I was there, they were just cleaning the display cases and the dolls, but I was still allowed to enter. The staff is nice and helpful, apparently they don't just post the dummies. It is also worth stopping by as a returning visitor, because the puppets on display change from time to time.

Kedves kis múzeum, ahová érdemes beugrani. A hely méretéhez képest sok báb megtekinthető, a nélkül, hogy a zsúfoltság hibájába estek volna. Amikor ott voltam, pont takarították a vitrineket és a bábokat, de ennek ellenére beengedtek. A személyzet kedves és szolgálatkész, láthatóan nem csak közzéteszik a bábokat. Visszatérő látogatóként is érdemes betérni, mert a kiállított bábok időről-időre változnak.

(Translated by Google) I was excited! I love theater, I love puppetry ... And I love it when you meet artists who show off their talents so easily, playfully and yet professionally and let spectators participate in them. Especially when the audience is children, probably the most challenged audience. But every child was bound and immersed in the world of fairy tales and stories. It is a small museum with elaborately designed dolls. It is probably more worthwhile to visit one of the events and then to look around. Admission price of 4.50 euros I found that day more than adequate. Had to pay more :)

Ich war begeistert! Ich liebe Theater, ich liebe puppenspiel... Und ich liebe es, wenn man auf Künstler trifft, die ihr Talent so leicht, spielerisch und doch professionell zum Besten geben und Zuschauer daran teil haben lassen. Vor allem wenn die Zuschauer Kinder sind, das wohl herausfordenste Publikum. Doch jedes Kind war gefesselt und tauchte mit ein in die Welt der Märchen und Geschichten. Es ist ein kleines Museum mit aufwendig gestalteten Puppen. Es lohnt sich wohl mehr, eine der Veranstaltungen zu besuchen und sich im Anschluss noch um zu schauen. Eintrittspreis von 4,50 Euro fand ich an diesem Tag mehr als angemessen. Hätte auch mehr bezahlt :)

(Translated by Google) We were there with our seniors today. The reception was very friendly and even though the man at the checkout had to acknowledge everything individually, he was extremely nice. The tour was really great and all questions were answered patiently. The dolls should be touched and admired with wide eyes. We were all thrilled and would love to come back. Many thanks

Wir waren heute mit unseren Senioren dort. Schon der Empfang war sehr freundlich und obwohl der Mann an der Kasse alles einzeln quittieren musste blieb er unheimlich nett. Die Führung war echt klasse und alle Fragen wurden geduldig beantwortet. Die Puppen dürften angefasst und mit großen Augen bewundert werden. Wir waren alle begeistert und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank
