Overview

In 1975, Antonio Pasqualino founded the International Puppet Museum in his native Palermo, creating a home for the Pupi marionettes as well as for the large collection of puppetry material from several European countries and the Far East, including France, Spain, Thailand, Burma, Vietnam, and many others.

The Museum is spread over three floors and houses a number of exhibition spaces, a bookshop, a library, a video and a film library, and a performance space capable of accommodating a large theater program.

The International Museum of Marionettes is a gem among the museums of Sicily, as it preserves and perpetuates a theatrical form the UNESCO declared part of the "Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" (in 2001) – the Sicilian “Opera dei Pupi.”

The Museum is a place full of charm, history, and stories, an unusual and precious window onto the history and folk traditions of Sicily – and the world.

Een bezoek zeker de moeite waard. Echter blijkt dat een ticket ter plaatse €5 per persoon is, terwijl wij gevoelig meer betaald hebben aan La Vacanza Travel. En trouwens .. wachtrij, er waren op die zondagvoormiddag 3 bezoekers, onszelf (2 personen) inbegrepen. Dus volgende keer koop ik gewoon mijn tickets aan de ingang.
