The Doll's House Museum is the largest of its kind in Europe. It houses the worlds largest collection of over 2500 old teddy bears which are already of a ripe old age, the oldest ones dating back to 1904!

The teddy bears are displayed in numerous settings throughout the museum. They are to be seen grooming each other in the morning, teaching the alphabet to young bears, being attended to by doll doctors or regulating the traffic.

The visitor has the impression that the dolls and teddys are playing together.

Teddy bears compete in car races and dolls and bears organize a picnic together. Many scenes can be mechanically activated. At the press of a button you can enjoy the thrills of a whole amusement park. 

As in a small doll's house, there are many objects to be admired throughout the museum. When you enter, you step into the fascinating world of teddy bears, dolls, toy shops, doll's houses and recent miniatures bult to the scale of 1:12. The unique concept for the display of this exhibition enables old and new to tell their tales.

I am honoured to have some of my work exhibited in the Puppenhausmuseum. Over the years I have made some special pieces which have been a delight and challenge to create.
