Experience the magic of the Puppet Opera with a guided tour of the Puppet Museum, in the heart of Sicilian tradition. This fascinating tour will take you on a discovery of an ancient art, recognised by UNESCO as an Intangible Heritage of Humanity, capable of telling epic stories and values deeply rooted in local culture.

Discover the prestigious Gargano collection. The museum holds more than 250 puppets including historical and contemporary specimens, along with painted sets, posters, props, manuscripts and period theatres.

Each element contributes to recreating the evocative atmosphere of the “Opra,” offering an authentic look at the evolution of this theatrical form from the 19th century to the present day.

Alternatively, you can attend an engaging puppet storytelling show, experiencing first-hand the narrative and theatrical power of this tradition.

Choose the option you prefer and enjoy an immersive and exciting experience that combines art, craftsmanship and storytelling, ideal for those who want to learn about Sicily's cultural roots.
