November 8-10: Doll Prague Exhibits Puppet Designs and Teddy Bears

The 9th International Exhibition of Art Dolls, Puppets, and Collectible Teddy Bears will take place at the historic Lucerna Palace from November 8 to 10.

The theme of Doll Prague 2024 pays tribute to the great Bedřich Smetana with the quote, “Music is the language of emotion,” commemorating his important anniversary.

The main exhibition is curated by Lithuanian artist Olga Norviliene, whose central figure, a symbol of this celebration, is already featured in the event’s posters.

This year, organizers invited renowned artists such as Marlaine Verhelst, Connie Lowe, Chomik and Meder, Tamara Pivnyuk, and many leading Czech artists, including Eva Hodinková.

More than 127 artists from 22 countries have confirmed their participation.

Each doll on display is a unique work of art, characterized by its individuality, meticulous craftsmanship, and variety of materials.

“Art doll collectors include many celebrities, such as Hollywood actress Demi Moore, who has even dedicated a house to her dolls. Her collection of over 3,000 pieces is insured for $2 million,” says Bohdana Klátilová, exhibition director and recipient of the prestigious Pandora Platinum International Award.

In addition to the exhibition, a rich program of accompanying events awaits you. Artists from the National Institute of American Doll Artists (NIADA) will present various techniques and methods for creating art dolls and figures directly at their exhibition.

Additionally, there will be art workshops for adults during the exhibition, which can be registered for now on the exhibition’s website.

Doll Prague 2024 will also feature Czech puppeteers whose creations are listed on UNESCO’s cultural heritage list.
