Museu da Marionete-Lisboa-Portugal - Children's Museums on Waymarking.com

Featuring the history of this utmost fascinating art throughout the world, the different types of puppets and the various approaches they allow, focusing on the Portuguese puppets.
The museum’s collection has evolved progressively, depicting the different theatrical forms that derive from ancient traditions or from modern artistic pursuits, exploring new forms, new materials, and new techniques. This development was possible due to the help and support of various people, authors, collectors and puppeteers who joined us in this project, giving their inestimable contribution and assets. The Museum wishes to acknowledge their outstanding support.
In the beginning our focus was put upon the national universe, and we are deeply proud to feature one of the most significant and complete collections of Portuguese traditional puppets.
As off end of 2008 we opened our doors to the rest of the world to welcome – as a deposit – the outstanding and wide collection of African and Southeast Asian puppets and masks belonging to the collector Francisco Capelo.
