The Center for Puppetry Arts will celebrate its 30th anniversary this year in September of 2008.

The museum at the center includes exhibits of puppets and marionettes from all over the world. There are all sorts of puppets here from delicate paper Indonesian shadow puppets, to soft sculpture devil puppets. Some of them are quite primitive and colorful like the African woman puppet in the photo above, and others are elegantly crafted like Wayland Flowers' Madame puppet.
