Greisinger Museum
The museum devoted to J. R. R. Tolkien's "Middle-earth"
The Greisinger Museum in Jenins is a non-profit foundation and houses the world’s largest collection on the topic of «Middle-earth», the literary world of author J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973). The museum and the collection form a unit: the museum, which is mainly located underground, is accessible through a door of a «Hobbit-hole». Each room in the museum provides the visitor with the feeling of being at a different place of «Middle-earth». There is for example a «Moria» room with a replica of a «Balrog», a huge demon, and a «Fangorn» room with an around eight metres large «Treebeard», a forest creature. The collection of the Greisinger Museum holds about 600 original paintings and drawings, over 3,500 books and several thousand collectibles. About half of the collection is displayed in the museum. The collection of the Greisinger Museum and the museum’s own library can be used for scientific study purposes on request.
