Marionette Museum
One of Palermo's most unique attractions is the engaging Museo
Internazionale delle Marionette, a museum dedicated to the art of
puppetry, an age-old Sicilian form of entertainment. Free shows are
often put on in summer, but the museum collection itself, the
greatest of its kind in the world, is entertainment enough. Most of
the antique puppets on display evoke Norman Sicily, representing
chivalrous heroes and Saracen pirates, knights, ladies and
troubadours. The collection includes puppets from the Far East and
even some English 'Punch and Judy' dolls.
