Opportunity to see a collection of traditional Sicilian puppets as well as a classic marionette show.. - Seeing the museum before the show can give you a better appreciation of the marionette show. Try and stop in and see new marionettes being created in a storefront shop across from the museum. It is helpful to read the print explaining the puppets. Some of the faces of the puppets can be scary for young kids.
