The Museum of Czech Puppets and Circus, part of the National Museum in Prague, is devoted to the history of the Czech Puppets and to the history of the Circus. There are a multitude of puppets, from the oldest marionettes through to family and club theatres and professional stages.

Regarding the circus exhibits, the visitor will see not only posters, photographs and documents, but will also find himself in a circus arena with horizontal bars, a Persian bar, single-wheel bicycles, juggling tools and circus costumes.

This is the only Czech museum to house a unique historical moving attraction – waxworks of the heads of historical personalities, even including a moving mermaid.
