Puppetry Museum

 Come see an eye-catching array of over 150 puppets from around the world (16 different countries) as we celebrate creativity and the ingenuity of people from a variety of world cultures. Also included are puppets that represent our own American favorites from movies and stories. Latest additions are Bross marionettes from Germany and an exciting display of Mexican puppets . . . Viva los titeres!!! 

 Puppets are great story tellers. They tell us about other cultures in other times and places and can also tell us a lot about ourselves: how we feel, our values, what we like.  They can entertain us with music and dance and act out popular tales. Hands on exhibits at the World of Puppetry Museum include a barrel full of lovable hand puppets and a large mirror to perform in front of, a few boxes of marionettes where you can pull the strings, and a shadow stage complete with instructions on hand shaped shadows and a couple sets of stories like the three bears or the three little pigs. Or you can try your hand at making your own puppet craft. All craft activities are free, but donations are welcome. Periodic special puppet shows suggest a small admission fee, average $2 per person or $5 per family.
