Abstract

Wojciech Jama is a private collector of antiquities, famous for the collection that dedicated to Polish animation: puppets, figurines, gadgets, scenarios and pictures. This collection has launched the unique Museum of Dobranocek (bedtime fairy tales). Donated collection contained more than 2000 objects, with estimated cost over 200.000 PLN. The entire idea to donate and present the collection came to Wojciech Jama after the interview with local journalists. And the media followed the process of creating the new museum in Rzeszów. Wojciech Jama had many challenges on the way to initiate the Museum of Dobranocek, from administrative and notarial issues to construction an exhibition space. The Museum of Dobranocek opened on March 22nd, 2009. Nowadays this is one of the most famous and popular places for European tourists. Collection counts more than 5000 exhibits and the museum still tries to gain new ones. Despite the museum is about the cartoons, the style is suitable not only for children. The elder children can finally meet the characters from TV, which they saw many years ago. Wojciech Jama is currently thinking about founding the Museum of Comics, which is his first passion.
