Center for Puppetry Arts, Puppet museum and theater in Midtown Atlanta, United States.
The Center for Puppetry Arts is a museum and performance venue for puppet arts in Midtown Atlanta with three areas: a performance theater, a museum gallery, and an educational program. The collection includes puppets from around the world and thousands of handcrafted characters from film and television productions.
Vincent Anthony founded the center in 1978 in a former school building as a place for puppet arts. The project grew from a small local initiative into one of the largest puppet collections in North America.
The museum displays puppetry traditions from around the world alongside famous Muppet characters from various productions. Visitors encounter how different cultures developed their own puppet storytelling styles and techniques.
Visitors should check what performances and classes are currently running upon arrival, as the schedule changes by season. It helps to confirm opening hours in advance and see if special events or workshops are available during your visit.
The collection contains original characters from well-known productions, including many handcrafted figures that are decades old. Some of these characters have technical details that show how puppet-making techniques evolved over time.
