Moravian museum is exhibiting 400+ “forgotten” marionettes and puppetes made until 1950s. This is an unique opportunity to learn about the lost tradition of Czech (or rather Moravian, in this very case) puppet shows, both professional and amateur.

You can enjoy all the puppets at 2 Radnická st. every week from Tuesday to Saturday (and even to Sunday, until Christmas). The exhibition will close down on April 25.
