Museu da Marioneta
In Convento das Bernardas, Museu da Marioneta explores puppet theatre through objects and techniques from several countries.
The museum occupies Convento das Bernardas at Rua da Esperança 146. Its collection includes shadow, glove, string and rod puppets from several parts of the world. The education service runs visits and workshops, while Laboratório das Artes gives particular attention to children and young people.
It is in the Lapa e Santos neighbourhood. If you have time, Teatro A Barraca is 2 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Basílica da Estrela, the closest indoor option. The nearest metro station is Cais do Sodré, about 980 m away; see how to use the metro.
