Documentation center

The documentation center was founded in 1981. This specialized multimedia and multilingual center was built up from an initial donation from Jean-Loup Temporal (1921-1983), consisting mainly of 19th and 20th century printed matter, as well as autograph and typescript texts for puppet shows. Over the years, this collection has been supplemented by donations, legacies and acquisitions. Today, it is one of the richest collections of puppet arts in the world. It is at the service of students, trainees and researchers, and is open to teachers, artists and the general public.
