All the puppets are handmade and very old, some of them are over 100 years old!
The collection comes from all over the world like Indonesia, Japan, China etc....
It is a great place to take your kids, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays as at 17.30
a puppet show takes place (October-June) which we missed as we went in the morning!
Tickets cost 5 euros per adult and 3 euros for children. If you are in a group you can try to get a better price like we did! In fact we almost paid half of the original price after a bit of bargaining.
Opening times: Monday- Saturday 9.00-13.00/ 14.30-18.30
Sunday 10.00-13.00
Address: Piazzetta Antonio Pasqualino 5 (near Porta Felice)
Just a little advice on finding the Museum as is a little tricky to find as we went passed it
without realising.
Once you get to Via Butera take the first left onto vicolo Niscemi, where you will find the Museum on your left.
Excellent Pictures and writing, I am sure to visit these places again, great insight and discription
