WORLD OF PUPPETS

Puppets are an excellent way to explore world culture. As an artistic symbol, puppets represent more than just interesting objects. The use of puppets to teach as well as to entertain has been prevalent throughout history.
The exhibit shows how different cultures expressed themselves through puppets, an interesting avenue to show meaning and interpretation in this popular art form to any group of people."

The difference between Eastern and Western cultures becomes obvious with the example of puppets. Their variation in design and construction as well as the subject matter and the selection of the puppet characters illustrates diversity.

IPM has assembled an outstanding assortment from the outstanding Cook collection with selections of puppets from all parts of the globe.
