Marionettes, hand puppets and other theater figures, entire stages and an extensive archive - the Dresden Puppet Theater Collection is one of the largest of its kind in the world. Its new home is at Kraftwerk Mitte. Puppet theater is not just a fascinating art form. The extensive holdings of the Puppet Theater Collection also tell us a lot about the cultural history of its time - especially in Saxony, where for centuries traveling puppeteers in inns and hand puppeteers at fairs delighted their audiences. The puppet theater collection looks back on over 70 years of history. Leipzig teacher Otto Link founded the collection, which continues to grow to this day and documents the history of puppet theater from the 18th century to the present day.
