This modern stand-alone museum opened in 2018, replacing the Kindermuseum (Children's Museum) and part of the Historisches Museum. Interactive historical and cultural exhibits invite exploration (and it's free for children under 18).
This charming little museum honors the Frankfurt physician who created the sardonic children's classic Struwwelpeter, or Slovenly Peter. Heinrich Hoffmann wrote the poems and drew the rather amateurish pictures in 1844, to warn children of the dire consequences of being naughty. The book has seen several English translations, including one by Mark Twain, which can be purchased at the museum. The kid-friendly museum has a puppet theater and game room, and is popular for birthday parties. After decades in a historic mansion in Westend, it reopened in a new location in Alstadt in 2019. English-language audio guide available.
