The Aurora Valentinetti Puppet Museum strives to increase the knowledge and appreciation for the art of puppetry. We have many more puppets to display than available space to present them. Our floor pieces and display cases are updated on a regular basis to guarantee that during each visit you will be presented with a new experience.  

April 21st, Bremerton Mayor Patty Lent signed a proclamation declaring April 24th, 2010 National Day of Puppetry in Bremerton.
