Dolls. Puppet Theatre
As a child we all played with dolls. Someone sewed clothes for their Barbie, someone put a teddy bear into the bed...
Growing up some of us have not lost the love for these strange creatures so reminiscent of (or in contrast having
nothing in common with) ourselves.
The link goes to the dolls (something from the extensive collection) as well as everything connected with dolls.

Exhibitions. Museums. Installations.
The Phantom of the Opera is a character that has firmly taken its place alongside other cultural phenomena.
In his youth he was exposed as a public spectacle, to the meanest of the people, but in later years he
voluntarily imprisoned himself in the cellars of the Opera in order to drop out of people’s sight. However,
decades later, he anyhow became a museum exhibit, with hundreds of visitors having the opportunity to examine
it carefully. Here is a collection of exhibitions, installations, museum expositions one way or another connected
with the Phantom of the Opera.

Broadcasts
Before television settled in every house there was a radio. And not only the news and weather forecasts
were broadcasted on the radio. For a long time radio series had been popular. It is a so-called 'radio theater'
when actors gathered in the studio and acted out scenes naturally in front of a microphone. Or just read
the text, to the best of the talent. For a long time these series had not been just popular, but extremely
popular. Not for nothing they still have fans. Surprisingly, but The Phantom of the Opera has not been
set aside by such a 'RadioMania'.

Phantom Tatoos
The fans have many things to do to express their devotion to a favorite topic! The one massively
collects souvenirs and dolls; the other decorates his room and the house turning them into a kind
of museum dedicated to The Phantom of the Opera. Some stick familiar symbols on their cars ... And
there are those who have decided to immortalize their favorite hero on their own body and to get a tattoo.
No one can count the tattoos types based on the Phantom of the Opera. Someone orders symbols from the Webber’s
musical - a rose mask, someone puts the very Phantom performed by Lon Chaney or Gerard Butler, and
someone reminds the movie Phantom of the Paradise by Brian De Palma. Complexity of the works varies,
too, from the most simple to the real works of art. Among the tattoos the works of the fan artists famous
in the Phantom-of-the-Opera-circles can be easily recognized.
