KOLK 17 Puppet Theatre & Museum
Sat. 12.30 am-4.30 pm - Sun. 12 am – 3 pm - Puppet theatre tent on the Beckergrube fairground
Old becomes new: In Lübeck, a puppet theatre and a museum are merging to form a completely new entity - KOLK 17. Unfortunately, it's not quite finished yet. That's a good thing, because there's still plenty of material left on the building site to build something. While the finished figures are waiting to make their appearance, you can invent characters and create something new with old material. Let your imagination run wild!

Writing, painting, performing, dancing and making music are just some of the activities on offer in the Culture Labyrinth. You can try out lots of things and be creative in a playful way.
