Description
Tucked into a small Sellwood house surrounded by trees and flowers, hundreds of antique and historic puppets fill an intimate space dedicated to preserving the ancient art of puppetry. Since opening in 2012, the venue has hosted over 50 themed rotating displays—from fairytale creatures to women of the ancient world—alongside family shows, adult puppet nights, and hands-on workshops.
