Museo internazionale delle marionette Antonio Pasqualino

The museum holds more than three thousand puppets and marionettes, including Sicilian puppets, Japanese Bunraku, and Indonesian Wayang Kulit shadow figures.

The Association for the Preservation of Folk Traditions established this museum in 1975 within the former Hotel de France building in central Palermo.

The Opera dei Pupi performances at the museum present medieval tales, Renaissance poetry, and stories of saints through traditional Sicilian puppet theater.

The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Saturday between 10:00 and 18:00, and on Mondays and Sundays from 10:00 to 14:00.

The museum contains thirty thousand specialized publications in its Giuseppe Leggio library, including rare 19th and 20th-century puppet theater manuscripts.
