Puppet theater has a long tradition in Portugal. It reached its cultural zenith in the 18th C. with a marionette opera written especially for this form of theater. The originality of the opera has led it to be described as unique in the history of the theater. The members of the internationally famous Marionetas de S. Lourenço theater also present archaic, medieval and Baroque theater and undertake theater tours through Portugal. The collection, which is supported by the Gulbenkian Foundation, includes almost everything that should be in a marionette museum: puppets, props, sets, old illustated broadsheets, posters and some oriental puppets
