About

The Museum of East Asian Art is playing with light and shadow this Museums Week. Take a look at their incredible centuries-old shadow puppets and show off your storytelling skills by putting on a play in the mini shadow theatre. After seeing how the expert artisans made them, you can have a go at creating your own shadow puppet at the craft tables.

These puppets show the weird and wonderful characters from traditional Indonesian and Thai plays. With forest demons, flying gods, and more, come along to explore this beautiful art form.

Free with admission (admission free for children and, during Museum's Week, free for discovery card holders)
