Subject: Puppet Museum Query...
Friends and Colleagues --
I am requesting any information you may have regarding exhibition
venues for those interested in displaying 13th-20th century puppets,
marionettes, puppet stages, dolls, automatons, organ grinders, and
puppet-related ephemera.
I pass on this request as a favor to some dear friends who run the
Spiel und Theaterfigurenmuseum in Lubeck, Germany. They claim to have the
world's largest *private* collection of puppets, which number circa
30,000 objects (not including extensive library holdings, too) and is
spread out amoung *six* former Renaissance-era warehouses [ie., quite
mammoth in size])...
I have used the collections myself for research, I can attest to them
being in splendid shape, and well ordered.
Any thoughts you may have are helpful... Thank you...
Jay Kempen, Washington University Archives in St. Louis, Missouri.
