Yunlin Puppetry Museum Introduction

The former Huwei District Office, elegant and simple in its essence, was officially announced as a historic site in 2001 and has transformed into the Yulin Puppetry Museum, rich in local cultural ambiance. The museum provides a detailed introduction to different styles of puppetry, characters, cultural stories, and historical evolution, with classic puppets from various countries on display. It also features traditional shadow puppets filled with old memories and brilliantly decorated stages, along with highly praised interactive performances, making it suitable for visiting with elders to experience the time tunnel of puppetry performance! When it comes to puppetry, the pride of Taiwan, we must mention its hometown, Huwei Township in Yunlin County. Now, let me introduce you to the Yulin Puppetry Museum located in Huwei. The museum showcases the history of puppetry and static puppet displays, allowing the public to learn about the development of traditional puppetry and to preserve it, preventing the loss of cultural heritage. The establishment of the puppetry museum provides a space for everyone to absorb puppetry culture, understand its historical significance, and ultimately accept traditional puppetry as an art form.
