Marionety Truhlář

Malá Strana


This palace of puppetry stocks traditional marionettes from more than 40 workshops around Czechia, as well as offering DIY puppet kits, courses on puppet-making, and the chance to order a custom-made marionette in your own (or anyone else's) likeness.

Some of the puppets are collector's items and not really children's toys. Prices are high.
