What a wonderful find! My husband and I noticed a sign for the International Puppet Museum and decided to give it a try. It was a delight. There really are puppets from all over the world--Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, the U.S., and yes, Italy. The museum is a nice mix of old world (puppets that are up close and personal from... More

Of all the sites in Sicily, the Greek Theaters in Siracusa and Taormina, the views from Taormina, Monreale in Palermo, the Roman ruins, the beaches, the hill towns, each one of the Musei dei Arceologico in each of the big towns, this was easily the (second most) fun. The only thing more fun was the Cioccolateria Lorenzo, only two blocks... More

This unique museum hosts a huge collection of puppets - a great Sicilian tradition - from Sicity and around the world. It is really remarkable. It is also in a very nice setting . More

It is particularly interesting to see that the... More

A magic atmosphere where we discovered the incredible Sicilian puppet tradition of Opera dei pupi and other puppet traditions that the Association that founded the museum has being studying since its foundation. I think it's a great experience to know better Sicily and its complex culture. More
