Burcardo Theatre Museum


The Burcardo Theatre Museum is located on via del Sudario close to the Largo di Torre Argentina. There are many possible ways to get there including walking, bus, or Tram. The museum is in a late 15th century house that once belonged to Johannes Burkhardt. The museum holds and displays an array of Chinese puppets and comic masks from different regions of Italy. The nice thing about this museum is that it is also a library that the public has full access to. I think this would be a really cool place to visit especially if you are interested in theatre. This would be a nice change in the typically site seeing you would do in Rome and I’m sure there are some really interesting stories behind the things you will see there.
