Mythical Creatures and Characters: Tales from Around the World
Narrated by Melinda MacInnis
January 20 - May 18, 2008

An homage to arguably the oldest art form, this exhibit examines the history and role of storytelling in the preservation of culture and transference of community values. Showcasing puppets, mythical characters and creatures are presented as heroes, villains, wise elders, or tricksters on their journey to fulfillment. This exhibit celebrates the universal human experience captured so sublimely in our stories.

Featuring puppets from the Conservatory of Puppetry Arts, Pasadena.

This exhibition is sponsored by the Folk Art Council of the Craft and Folk Art Museum in memory of Monroe Morgan. With additional support from the City of Los Angeles, Department of Cultural Affairs.
