I spent most of this past May touring Central Europe with a bus load of doll collectors. We visited many doll and toy museums. The
Puppenmuseum Coburg was one of the best.
Coburg is located in the heart of the doll factory area of Germany. It had a wonderful variety of dolls and miniatures for us to see
I love this room box. It is full of treasures including lots of boule furniture.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thank you for sharing photos of places I doubt I will ever see. You visit some amazing places. I don't know why but I'm a little freaked out by dolls with realistic eyes. I'm convinced they wander around when the lights are out haha ;0P
ReplyDeleteI Love those room boxes too... the use of fabric pieces for the curtains and the large scale wallpapers are just so beautiful! It really shows the Victorian love of pattern and color. The dolls are lovely too! Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous trip you must have had! Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Susan - thanks for sharing! I'm a bit surprised at the lack of information on some of the museum labels, though! I would have thought they'd identify the manufacturers as much as possible ...
ReplyDeleteOh Susan! What a wonderful museum to see! That Boulle!!! Want! CM
