Antonio Pasqualino International Marionette Museum

The Antonio Pasqualino International Marionette Museum is a museum of popular traditions in Palermo (Italy), named after Antonio Pasqualino, who collected the first nucleus of the collection of Sicilian puppets, marionettes and marionettes from all over the world.

In 2017 it won the Icom Italia Award as Museum of the Year. It was born in 1975 by Antonio Pasqualino, to whom it was named after his death in 1995.

The museum's headquarters are located in Kalsa, in a wing of the former Hotel de France, an eight hundred square meter building spread over two floors. The library contains around three thousand volumes on the history of puppets and marionettes, on the study of popular traditions and many nineteenth-century manuscript scripts.

The well-stocked video library allows you to relive the theatrical performances of different cultures and traditions, but what makes this place of the imagination fascinating is the collection of approximately three thousand five hundred string, stick and glove puppets as well as, naturally, puppets from Palermo, Catania and Neapolitan .
