The Taiyuan Asian Puppet Theatre Museum ( traditional Chinese: 台原亞洲偶戲博物館; simplified Chinese: 台原亚洲偶戏博物馆; pinyin: Táiyuán Yàzhōu Ôuxì Bówùguǎn) was a museum of puppet theatre in Datong District, Taipei, Taiwan. It aimed to preserve and promote traditional Asian puppet culture and to foster interaction between local and international puppet troupes. [2]
The museum was originally established in 2000 as the TTT Puppet Centre. It was then renamed as the Lin Liu-hsin Puppet Theatre Museum ( Chinese: 林柳新紀念偶戲博物館; pinyin: Lín Liǔxīn Jìniàn Ǒuxì Bówùguǎn) in November 2005 before it was known as its current name. On 1 July 2019, the museum closed down. [3]
It housed more than 10,000 puppet theater items from around the world, including glove, shadow, string and water puppets. [1] [4]
