• Ostern im Jägerhof (Easter in the Jägerhof)
Exhibition by the Museum für Sächsische
Volkskunst

In this traditional Easter exhibition beautifully
decorated Easter eggs were on display,
some on loan from other collections and
others from among the museum’s own
holdings of 3000 eggs. These were combined
with painted furniture, costumes,
ceramics and toys. On small display stands,
more than 40 folk artists presented their
intricately decorated eggs and demonstrated
their various techniques.

• Von A bis Z – Ein vergnügliches ABC des
Puppenspiels von Affenbande bis Zappelkönig
(From A to Z – An Amusing ABC
of Puppet Theatre from ‘Affenbande’ to
‘Zappelkönig’)
Until 19th April 2009 (from 3rd November
2007) · Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof, Puppentheatersammlung
This exhibition presented an unusual
alphabet of puppet theatre, with plenty to
discover and explore. Both the new and
old systems of spelling were used. There
was something for everybody. Just in case,
a copy of the “Duden” dictionary was
available.
• Kasper – eine deutsche Karriere
(Kasper – A German Career)
16th May 2009 – 31st January 2010
Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof,
Puppentheatersammlung
Puppet theatre has always involved heroes
and comic figures. For over 200 years
this figure has in Germany been called
‘Kasper’. Over time, he was transformed
from an anarchist, ruffian, coward and
slacker into a useful member of society.
During the Nazi period he was turned into
a German hero. In the GDR he did not fit
in. His place was taken by Young Pioneers
until Kasper’s plebeian roots were discovered.
In the 1980s he was able to reclaim
his political dimension in puppet plays for
adults.

28th November 2009 until 31st January 2010
Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof
For many years Frank Lange from Putzkau
(in Saxony) has been collecting GDR toys.
He has succeeded in acquiring many toys
which were produced in only small numbers
and exclusively for export and were
therefore scarce in GDR times. In keeping
with tradition, from 28th November until
23rd December 2009 visitors were able to
engage in craft activities.
