What travelers say:

Puppet show is a popular entertainment activity in the Czech Republic, the first time the line puppet appeared in the Czech Republic in the 17th century. The earliest line puppet families are Kopecky, Dubsky and Kocka. Puppets can be seen in the Puppet Museum in a variety of shapes. The size of the puppet is generally between 50-80 cm, and the size of the puppet will change according to the different roles of the repertoire. There are many characters from the puppet, including the king, queen, princess, etc. in the fairy tale, as well as the artists, chefs, wizards and so on in the novel. The size of the thread puppet also changes. The puppet's head, arms and legs are carved with teak, and then colored with tempera or oil colours, the workmanship is very particular, in order to reduce the weight, the back of the puppet body is hollow. There are puppet characters on the walls of the museum, and each painting is half a meter high and half a meter wide.
