Museu da Marioneta

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:38:17

Discover your inner child at the enchanting Museu da Marioneta, a veritable Geppetto’s workshop housed in the 17th-century Convento das Bernardas. Alongside superstars such as impish Punch and his Russian equivalent Petruschka are rarities: Vietnamese water puppets, Sicilian opera marionettes and intricate Burmese shadow puppets.

Tots can try their hand at puppetry. The museum also hosts periodic performances and puppet-making workshops.
