Prague is known as the "city of a hundred spires," but equally impressive are the number of marionettes one sees.

Whether dancing down the cobblestone streets, hanging proudly in a shop window, performing for children in cozy theatres or playing a tune or two on the Charles bridge, you simply can not help but smile at first sight. CzechMarionettes seeks to create a truly global platform for the Czech Republic's many artists, puppeteers and marionette magicians, who have been dazzling children and adults alike for hundreds of years. By working with friends, artists and professionals alike we aim to bring you the widest selection of marionettes available today. We also hope to further the awareness of Czech history, culture, and tradition.

We value our relationships with current and future customers and strive to create a community of interested collectors and enthusiasts. We are confident that our products are of the highest quality - handcrafted, hand-painted and garbed in hand-sewn clothes – and come from one of the traditional centers of marionette history. Our commitment to you and to the artists of the Czech Republic will be reflected through our honest and responsible business.

We thus would like to encourage you to enjoy the images, information and links hosted on this site and please feel free to contact us at any time with questions, comments or concerns.
