Puppet Museum
About This Museum
People don't just come to the Puppet Museum in Plzeň to see toys; they come to connect with a living thread of Czech culture, one where wood and string tell timeless stories. Tucked right on the city's main square, it’s a place that feels both whimsical and deeply historical. You'll find yourself charmed by the intricate marionettes from famous Czech puppeteers and maybe even catch a craftsman at work during a demonstration. It leaves you with the wonderful impression that this isn't a relic of the past, but a vibrant, breathing art form.
