# Massive Puppet Museums Moon Hoon's 'Pino Familia' Museum is a Shrine to a Kids' Character By Joey Haar | Published 2016-11-23 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pino-familia References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2016/11/23/moon-hoon-museum-architecture-pinocchio-doll-collector-seoul-south-korea/) & [moonhoon](http://www.moonhoon.com/) Pino Familia is a museum in South Korea dedicated to an unlikely subject: the story of Pinocchio. [Disney's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixar-place-hotel) 'Pinocchio' made the puppet-turned-boy story into a pop cultural cornerstone, but the story is actually far older than the film, and Pino Familia shows off [baubles, knick knacks, and other ephemera](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then) related to the tale on both the interior and the exterior. The most notable aspects of Pino Familia are its [giant dolls spread around the grounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavilions-of-wonder). The Pinocchio doll itself is massive, standing taller than the museum's own buildings. Those buildings are also subtle references to the Pinocchio story, with one that has a protruding pipe (looking like Pinocchio's mendacity-sensitive nose) and another that's shaped like a whale's tale (in reference to the puppet getting swallowed by a whale.) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Giant Doll Experiences:** Opportunity to create immersive and interactive experiences with giant dolls, enhancing visitor engagement and creating memorable experiences. - **Storytelling Through Architecture:** Innovative use of architecture and design elements to tell a story and create a unique atmosphere, opening up possibilities for themed environments and immersive spaces. - **Reviving Classic Narratives:** Reinterpreting and revitalizing classic stories and characters in new and exciting ways, providing fresh perspectives and attracting nostalgic audiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Museum and Exhibition Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in designing and constructing immersive museum experiences that incorporate larger-than-life elements. - **Entertainment and Theme Parks:** Opportunities to create themed environments and attractions that bring classic stories and characters to life through interactive experiences. - **Tourism and Cultural Heritage:** Revitalizing and promoting cultural heritage through unique storytelling approaches, attracting visitors and boosting tourism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md) - [Futuristic Museum Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unnatural-history-museum-of-singapore.md) - [Miniature Endearing Souvenir Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-ghibli-museum.md) - [Paper-Inspired Artful Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/museum-for-papirkunst.md) - [Hand-Knit Finger Puppets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finger-puppet-mushrooms.md) - [Immersive Balloon Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balloon-story-popup.md) - [Designer Pop Culture Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kkplus.md) - [Spaceship-Like Robot Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoul-robot-ai.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md)
