About
The Museum of East Asian Art is playing with light and shadow this Museums Week. Take a look at our incredible centuries-old shadow puppets and show off your storytelling skills by putting on a play in our mini shadow theatre. After seeing how the expert artisans made them, you can have a go at creating your own shadow puppet at our craft tables.
Our 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.
During Museums Week 2024 (26 October – 3 November), this event is free for Discovery Card holders.
