Het Land van Jan Klaassen: behind the world of the puppets

Within Het Land van Jan Klaassen in Braamt lies a puppet theatre museum. Puppets, sets and workspaces give a different view of the theatre than a performance alone.

Plan your visit ↗

The puppet up close

The museum collection includes various types of puppets. When you look at them outside a performance, you can pay attention to material, size and design. That makes it interesting to consider how such a figure comes to life on stage.

Behind the performance

Sets, workshops and a sound studio are also part of the museum’s subject matter. They broaden the visit from the visible puppet to the work around it. Ask on site which parts can be viewed on the day of your visit.

Part of a park visit

The museum can only be reached while the park is open. There is therefore no separate, fixed museum schedule. The calendar changes per season and school holiday; school trips are booked separately. Also check the accessibility of the museum space if climbing stairs is difficult.

Before you go

Follow the park calendar. On Friday 25 September 2026 the park is closed.
