Karagöz Muzesi in Bursa

Karagöz Muzesi in Bursa, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Karagöz (left) and Hacivat (right) are the two most popular characters in Turkish shadow puppetry. The Karagöz Museum is opposite the tomb of Seyh Kusteri, who is accepted as the founding father of this art.
These enamel figures have been placed around his concrete tomb.

There is a very good website about Karagöz and Turkish Puppet Show Plays to be found on: www.karagoz.net
