Galleries, Museums and Collections

The Kaniva Puppet Shop is one of only a few puppet shops still operating in Australia. It offers the visitor the opportunity to experience the magical world of puppetry. Visitors can enjoy puppet demonstrations and view a private marionette collection including one of the rare Australian mid-century Tintookie Marionettes. Children can perform impromptu puppet plays with puppets and theatre provided. The shop features a Christmas room and a wide variety of Jigsaw puzzles including the world’s largest commercially available puzzle with over 40,000 pieces. Julie also runs a variety of workshops from wreath-making to Christmas decorations.
