The Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry is one of America’s hidden treasures—a superb collection of over 3,000 puppets from all over the world; an archive of books, manuscripts, posters, drawings, audio-visual materials and photographs all covering the history of puppetry. The Ballard Institute curates puppetry exhibitions and also offers performances, workshops, museum tours, forums, and other programs that promote the art of puppetry as a twenty-first-century art form with deep historic and global roots.
