Museum without walls

Immerse yourself in the history of puppetry through this virtual reality experience. Explore the puppet collection of German puppeteer Fritz Wortelmann across five digital rooms from an Indonesian Night to a European bustling marketplace through a virtual reality headset.

“This imaginary museum seduces. We are pulled along on a playful-atmospheric world trip through puppet theatre.“ – Double. Magazin für Puppen-, Figuren- und Objekttheater

For Puppets 4.0, the German Forum for Puppetry Arts is collaborating with DIGIFACTURA – a start-up that specializes in the 3D digitization of art and cultural assets and has designed the virtual reality world exclusively for the exhibition.
