The Lin Liu-Hsin Museum also had some puppets that children could play with, but the exhibits were much more informative for adults.

I just put a tinyurl as text instead) Amanda, I also visited the Puppetry Art Center earlier this year, but got the impression that it was mainly for children.

In fact, when we walked in to buy tickets, the lady look dumbfounded and asked me \"you really wanna go in?\" We both enjoyed what we saw there but felt like it was over way too fast. However, it was also quite interactive--he got to actually play with three different types of Taiwanese puppets which was fun. I didn\'t know about this other puppet museum. Next time I\'m in the north, I\'ll have to visit. I\’ve been to 台北偶戲館 (aka the other puppet museum)–I took my 12 year old brother (photo: http://tinyurl.com/y5q52t )
