This compact museum on the Square of the Republic is rooted in Bohemian culture, with a display that details the history of puppetry in Pilsen.
For centuries roving puppeteers would travel from town to town, but by the 1800s a permanent stage had been established at this location.
Shows weren’t just for children, as they often contained sharp satirical and bawdy humour. Exhibits here contain puppetry artefacts relating to all of the famous families practising this art-form down the years.
