Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, Puppet theater and performance venue in Krekov Square, Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The theater was founded in 1948 as City Puppet Theatre and evolved from marionette techniques to various forms of puppet theater. Under the artistic direction of Jože Pengov, the institution became a cultural center for the city.
The venue draws audiences from across the city and stages stories for all ages through its performances. Shows blend works by local playwrights with adaptations from around the world.

One special space called Stage Under the Stars features a glass roof that lets audiences watch performances while viewing the night sky above the city. This unusual combination makes every visit to this particular room memorable.
