Playroom
with puppets
Mr.
Jaroslav Kolodej prepared new collection of puppets for our playroom.
Mr
Jiri Polehna prepared new collection of hand puppets.
The
motto of the room is "Please touch". This is to compensate
for our request (often futile) not to touch any exhibits in the
museum. Naturally, especially children, want to have a go. And
this place, the playroom, is where they can. The playroom was
set up with the help of stage designers from the Department of
Alternative and Puppet Theatre of the School of Dramatic Arts
(DAMU) in Prague. Students of one class had this task to solve
as their semester project. Then it was up to us to turn their
ideas into reality. The stages (one small stage for puppets and
one for marionettes) are the work of Jan Zich and the puppets
were made by Bára Zichova, his wife.
