Amazing Museum shows the history of puppetry (Marionette) in general and also in relation to locality, eg the famous Guignol from Lyon. Before buying the ticket, we were assured that there is English language support, but - it turned out - that was mostly lacking, as everything was in French, bar some high level paragraphs in English. It would have been really beneficial to add English language! Nice garden and cafe on top floor, especially when good weather.

We came for the puppet museum and stayed for the history museum! The puppet museum is very interesting and has lots of different kinds of puppets. Some were a little spooky to my 3.5 year old but he experienced it all. They had puppets for the kids to try and a mini stage that was fun. The history museum was great. It has 30(!) rooms telling the history of Lyon from prehistoric days to the present day. In every other room, they had a children’s activity set up, in one room it was about crests and kids could create their crest. In another it was weaving patterns using plastic templates. The activity related to the objects in that gallery. We spent two hours there in total between the...

Il Musée des Arts de la Marionnette, ospitato all'interno del complesso dei Musei Gadagne nel cuore di Vieux Lyon, è un luogo unico dedicato all’arte delle marionette e alla sua ricca tradizione. Situato in uno splendido edificio rinascimentale, questo museo celebra l'importanza di Lione nella storia del teatro di figura, essendo la città natale di Guignol, uno dei personaggi più celebri del teatro delle marionette.

La collezione del museo è composta da oltre 2.000 marionette provenienti da tutto il mondo, insieme a costumi, scenografie, meccanismi e manoscritti. Le marionette esposte rappresentano una grande varietà di tradizioni culturali, con esempi che spaziano dall’Europa all’Asia, dall’Africa alle Americhe. Ogni pezzo racconta una storia unica e riflette le diverse tecniche e stili utilizzati in questo tipo di spettacolo.

Una sezione speciale è dedicata a Guignol, il celebre personaggio creato a Lione all'inizio del XIX secolo da Laurent Mourguet. Guignol, originariamente pensato come figura satirica, è diventato nel tempo un simbolo della cultura lionese e del teatro popolare, con spettacoli che mescolano umorismo, critica sociale e tradizione.

Il museo offre anche uno sguardo dietro le quinte del mondo delle marionette, con esposizioni che spiegano i processi creativi e tecnici necessari per costruire e animare queste figure. Interattivo e coinvolgente, il museo permette ai visitatori di esplorare come le marionette prendono vita sul palcoscenico.

Parte del complesso Gadagne, che include anche il Museo di Storia di Lione, il Musée des Arts de la Marionnette si trova in una posizione ideale per chi vuole scoprire il patrimonio culturale della città. Con mostre permanenti e temporanee, oltre a laboratori per adulti e bambini, rappresenta una destinazione imperdibile per chi desidera approfondire una delle forme d’arte più affascinanti e...
