Bukhara
The Bukhara Puppet Workshop Museum (locally known as Музей кукол ) is a charming and interactive museum in the historical heart of Bukhara, close to the famous Lyabi-Hauz ensemble. It was founded by master puppeteer Iskandar Khakimov, who has revived the nearly forgotten Central Asian tradition of papier-mâché hand puppets.
The owner or his team give short, humorous demonstrations showing how the puppets "come to life" and dance.
You will learn how the puppets are manually constructed from exactly 12 layers of papier-mâché, after which they are painted with watercolors and given traditional clothing.
