Rothenburg Doll and Toy Museum

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

The Puppen & Spielzeug Museum gift shop is well worth visiting even if you don't have time to explore the museum. 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.
