    The TheaterFigurenMuseum Lübeck is a museum for the history and present of puppet theater in Europe, Africa and Asia. In the museum visitors experience the fascination of puppet theater in all its diversity and meet on stages and barrel organs, shadow plays, dangling puppets and all sorts of curiosities. The TheaterFigurenMuseum is located in five historic merchant houses of the Brick Gothic in the small street Kolk in the old town of Lübeck.
    The museum grew out of Fritz Fey Jr.'s decades-long passion for collecting. He came from a puppeteer family and pursued his hobby in every free minute on professional journeys: he collected theater figures wherever he could, enthusiastic about the variety of their expressive possibilities in the various theatrical traditions of the international puppet theater. Thematically related to the renowned special collections of the Munich City Museum and the Puppentheatersammlung of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, it is a supraregional respected contribution to the Lübeck museum landscape, sponsored by the Hanseatic City of Lübeck, the Cultural Foundation of the State of Schleswig-Holstein and as a sponsor by the Possehl Foundation as a shareholder becomes. From 2012 to 2014, Martina Wagner was in charge of the museum, and from December 2014, art historian Felicia Sternfeld acted as director of the museum. As of November 15, 2015, the native of Lübeck Antonia Napp has the management and thus replaced by Felicia Sternfeld.

      In 400-year-old merchant houses in a romantic corner of the old Hanseatic city of Lübeck, a very special attraction awaits you:
      Around a thousand theater puppets from several continents and three centuries testify that puppeteers have always and everywhere known how to hold a mirror up to their fellow human beings – with ventriloquist's puppets as well as the famous Punch and Judy,
      with marionettes as well as shadow puppets, with transforming puppets as well as with mechanical "smokers." Plus everything that belongs to a theater: posters, musical instruments, props, scenery, even entire puppet theaters. A fascinating world within historic walls that has already delighted thousands of visitors.
