Ljubica Banic
★★★★★7 years agoI was already inside the fortress when I saw the museum is the first step before to continue to the fortress entrance. The museum is nice displayed with beautiful marionettes , scenography and music in the back ground. The entrance is free , highly recommend to visit this place

★★★★★a year agoA small museum showcasing all kinds of puppets and marionets. This museum is ideal for children, but will also interest adults, as the exhibits are magnificent. We bought the full ticket, which includes all parts of the fortress and the various exhibits, but I believe this small museum admission is included in the cheaper basic ticket. So there's no need to buy the more expensive ticket (which, by the way, isn't worth the price).
