Henryk Tomaszewski Museum of Theater
About This Museum
Tucked away on plac Wolności, just a stone's throw from Wrocław's bustling market square, this museum feels like a well-kept secret for theater lovers. It’s not a dusty archive but a vibrant portal into the imaginative world of its namesake, Henryk Tomaszewski, the visionary founder of the Wrocław Pantomime Theatre. You'll find yourself surrounded by an almost magical assortment of puppets, set models, and delicate costume sketches that seem to whisper stories from the wings. The curation has a thoughtful, almost theatrical flow, making you feel less like a visitor and more like a backstage guest peeking into the creative process.
Collection Highlights
The soul of the place is in Tomaszewski's own hauntingly expressive mime masks and the intricate puppets from his legendary productions. Don't miss the detailed maquettes of stage sets that let you imagine entire worlds in miniature.
