Puppets of the World from the Collection of Alan Cook
From the Collection of Alan Cook
December 7, 2002 through April 27, 2003

Taiwan
Puppet from Taiwan

Everyone has fond memories of seeing a puppet performance or perhaps creating a fantasy world through puppet play. Even Grace Hudson created her own fantasy land, the Rabbit Rancheria, using a cast of rabbit doll characters (on display in this exhibit). The history of puppet theater spans the world. This selection of over 300 puppets from Alan Cook's extensive collection represent all the major categories of puppets - hand puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppets, and string puppets or marionettes.

Puppets from France

They are the product of many lands and cultures. In exhibiting these puppets as folk art, viewers can appreciate the artistic and creative talents manifest in their creation. Museum goers are allowed more time to appreciate the style and details of the characters than is possible during an actual performance. However, the other half of the magic is of course, the performance, where amidst music and the spoken word, the characters becomes alive, where Pinochio becomes a real boy. We invite you to enjoy the magic.

"This exhibit is made possible thanks to the International Puppet Museum at the Conservatory of Puppetry Arts, a project of Community Partners at the Armory Center for the Arts Northwest, Pasadena, CA."
