Li Tien-lu Hand Puppet Historical Museum

Founded by Taiwan’s “national treasure,” late puppet master Li Tien-lu, the center is the first of its kind in Taiwan. It displays notes for puppets’ facial expressions, puppet costumes, and musical instruments which master Li used for puppet shows in his life, as well as precious old scripts. In the performing hall on the first floor, there is a large traditional “attic” stage. In the exhibition hall on the third floor, puppet heads, puppet costumes, and stage pops are shown. Video and audio guides will start as soon as visitors come in, for them to learn more about puppetry as a traditional type of art on their own.
