Enchanting Fairy-tale and Television Puppets is open at last! The wait is over!
Come join us as we stroll back though the adventures of our childhoods with Enchanting Fairy tales and Historical Television and Oregon Puppets. Each exhibit area evokes memories of your first journey to magical woods with haunted castles, gingerbread houses and towering waterfalls. Come climb the beanstalk, match swords with Captain Hook, or attend the ball with Cinderella. Does a fairy-tale have to have a witch in it, or a fairy for that matter? Why not take a magical tour with us as we weave the enchantment of these century old tales that have forever captured our hearts. In January magic of the Nutcracker continues for 5 more enchanting performances.
This Holiday Season the Portland Puppet Museum will present, an enchanting holiday comedy rod puppet shows by the Olde World Puppet Theatre, perfect for the entire family! Shows run each weekend throughout December and the first two weekends in January.

It has been a very full fall as we changed over the museum to a new exhibit as well as beginning the photographing of our collection of puppets and memorabilia from the world of puppetry. Wish us luck as we take on the daunting task of this very unique and wonderful collection with over 3,000 items.
