Hanau Historical Museum – Philippsruhe Palace with the Paper Theater Museum

At the new Paper Theater Museum, visitors can explore the fascinating world of miniature stages through interactive and hands-on experiences. Immersed in an atmospheric setting bathed in enchanting theatrical lighting, visitors can step right into the world of these captivating stages. In the six exhibition rooms of the new Paper Theater Museum, you embark on a journey through time from the beginnings of printmaking to today’s paper theater.
If you like, you can use your mobile device to control the lighting on selected stages or to listen to the choral singing from “Der Freischütz.” At a craft station, visitors can even recreate a scene and add musical accompaniment. Marvel, touch, and try things out—that’s the motto at the Paper Theater Museum!
