After a one-year delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the exhibition Secrets of the Wooden Puppet welcomes the first visitors to the Seoul Museum of History on 4 June 2021. As the puppets prepared for a long journey across continents, you can watch a series of videos that map the preparation and process of the exhibition as well as the exhibition itself.

An extensive representative exhibition of Czech puppetry, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, was prepared by the Chrudim Puppetry Museum (MLK) in cooperation with the Seoul Museum of History, the Czech Centre Seoul and the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Seoul which in this case provided extraordinary financial support.
