About
A small museum about Der Struwwelpeter, the picture book of cautionary tales, and its author, the Frankfurt doctor Heinrich Hoffmann, set in two houses in the Neue Altstadt.
Kids follow a game trail, roll dice to race Herr Fix around the world in 77 days, pose with giant figures from the book, and dress up to act out the stories on a real stage.
