When and where to visit

The Rothenburg Doll & Toy Museum is the Hofbronnengasse, about half a block from Rothenburg's Marktplatz. (Look for a red house with a round sign next to the doorway.) It's open daily year-round.

Museum shop

It's loaded with dollhouse furnishings, miniature toys, modern editions of antique German picture books, cards, cardboard dioramas and puppet theatres, and other items for children and collectors.
