Die Kiste

In the organizer's words:

When the doors of the Augsburger ^{Puppenkiste®} open, hearts still beat faster today. All the famous puppets of the Augsburger ^{Puppenkiste®} can be admired in the 650 square meter museum Die Kiste: Jim Knopf, Lukas the Engine Driver, Urmel, Kater Mikesch, Kalle Wirsch, the Cat in the Hat and countless other of the legendary stars on strings.

Changing special exhibitions and workshops round off the program. Since its opening, the museum has become the most successful of its kind in Europe with over 1,000,000 visitors. Thousands of families from all over Germany make the pilgrimage to Augsburg every month to see the permanent and special exhibitions.
