Exposition
In the small exhibition hall of the museum, there are marionette puppet compositions from the first performances in this theatre recalling the aesthetics of pure realism. In addition there are personages from both past and present theatre performances, stylized by artists and reflecting a wide range of characters including princesses, kings, enchanters, small devils, mythological creatures and various animals.
The museum was established through the initiative of Valerija and Stasys Ratkevičiai.
