While the puppetry depot is still housed at the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, the selected puppets created by [[Milan Klemenčič]] are also on display in the [[Museum of Puppetry]] opened in 2015 at [[Ljubljana Castle]].

== Milan Klemenčič Collection ==

The Legacy of Milan Klemenčič Collection was donated to [[Ljubljana Puppet Theatre]] by the artist`s daughter, [[Mojca Klemenčič]], and presented to the public as a permanent museum collection for the first time in 1990. 

Housed in the attic of Ljubljana Puppet Theatre's headquarters building, the Collection presents a large part of the puppet theatre work created by painter [[Milan Klemenčič]] (1875&ndash;1957) who, while being educated as a painter in Italy and Germany, gathered the impulses and models for the establishment of his own puppet theatre. The most obvious influence is that of the famous Munich Marionetten-theater.

The collection comprises artistic and technical designs for puppet shows, puppets, scenic elements, and stage and written documents from the artist`s three main creative periods: The Little Puppet Theatre (1910&ndash;1917), the Slovene Puppet Theatre (1920-1924) and the Miniature Puppet Theatre (1936&ndash;1957). Of particular interest are the tiny, 10cm-high marionettes presented in their original stage setting – certainly one of the tiniest puppet theatres in the world. 

From the last period of Klemenčič`s activities two shows have been preserved completely: ''Owl Castle'' (1936), and ''Doctor Faust'' (1938). On some occasions [[Ljubljana Puppet Theatre]] revived these shows and presented the artist's legacy 'live'.
