The Czech lands have Europe's deepest marionette tradition — puppetry here is a recognised art form, taught in conservatories, with a UNESCO-listed heritage. Prague's marionette theatres run daily performances. Beyond puppets, Krkonoše-region wooden toys, painted Easter eggs (kraslice), and the Trutnov wooden trains represent centuries of craft. Many marionettes today are still hand-carved from linden wood by named puppet-makers.
