Royal Theater Toone and its collection

Royal Theater Toone
Source

The Maison de Toone is simultaneously a typical estaminet with its Spanish pink brick walls, blackened beams and tiled floor, and a puppet theatre in the attic, with its wooden benches, festooned, multicoloured cushions nailed into the raw wood planks, a workshop that manufactures puppets, a library, video-library, and finally, a puppet museum. There, we find the characters who retired from the stage, these Toone heroes of the past and fetish characters of fellow puppeteers from around the world.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Royal Theater Toone in Brussels, Belgium, is a charming puppet theater that offers a unique cultural experience. Visitors appreciate its intimate atmosphere and the preservation of traditional Belgian puppet theater. The performances, often in multiple languages, are generally well-received, showcasing classic stories and local folklore. The theater's historic setting in a narrow alley adds to its appeal, though some find the space a bit cramped. The attached pub and small museum of puppets provide additional interest. While the shows are entertaining, some visitors note that the experience might not be suitable for very young children or those unfamiliar with the puppet theater tradition. The authenticity and dedication to the art form are consistently praised, making it a niche but memorable attraction in Brussels.
