too small. we wanted to see more. . . and I think the Charakters are too close one from another looking some background to have better pictures

Response from provider

We would also like to have more space. Unfortunately, the buildings statics doesn’t allow an increase of exhibition space and square meters. We don’t want to relocate the Panoptikum, since it’s at the same place since its foundation. The current building was designed by the 3rd generation, so that we want to preserve the tradition of our company by staying in this building, even if it's not ideal.

It has lots of wax figures of celebrities. I'm not sure if the height of Olivia Jones is accurate though 😅
