Gallery of Marionettes in Kuks

The Jiří Nachlinger Puppet Gallery has been housed in the heritage-protected Comoedien-Haus beneath the vineyard in Kuks since 2020. The permanent exhibition features fifty original puppets based on the sculptures of Matthias Bernard Braun, seamlessly blending the Baroque sculpting tradition of Kuks with a living lineage of puppet-making craftsmanship that dates back to the late 17th century. The exhibition includes the "Carro Commediale", a Baroque theatrical wagon. The gallery also hosts puppet theatre performances for both children and adults, and serves as one of the venues for the Theatrum Kuks festival.
