    For me it was only three stars but I feel like they probably knock it out of the park for people who are into puppets and I don’t want to be unfair. I wasn’t sure if I had a stance on the puppet world before going in, there were some interesting videos playing, for example of some Asian puppeteers working together, and then they had what appeared to be the drum from the video on display as well. There were plenty of puppets to look at, but with that said, I felt done after about 10 minutes.

    This spot was a real surprise packet in our visit to Palermo. Definitely worth checking out. Quirky and cultural, historically fascinating. Its a niche art and we entirely dug it. Unfortunately our timing didn't line up with the puppet show, which by the looks would have been an awesome experience. Nonetheless it's definitely worth a visit - we loved it and we are sure you'll love it too.
