Nos. 3 of 5

Germany - Lubeck: Theater Figuren Museum.

 

(This set within a set is dedicated to Tiger Lair - Susan who has collected Puppets all her life and is a good friend of mine!)

 

About a thousand theatre puppets from several continents and centuries prove that puppeteers have always and everywhere succeeded in holding a mirror to their societies. They have used ventriloquist’s puppets, the famous „Kasper“, marionettes, shadow puppets, five-in-one puppets as well as mechanical „smokers“ – to mention but a few. And, of course, they have relied on all the attributes of theatres: posters, props and requisites, musical instruments. All that can be seen in this outstanding museum which is said to be the greatest of its kind on earth.

 

A fascinating world within historical walls that has already delighted thousands and thousands of visitors.
