Encore! Encore!
The dazzling puppet divas of Chicago's famous Kungsholm Miniature Grand Opera astounded audiences between 1941 and 1970 at Chicago's Swedish-themed restaurant, Kungsholm. They've come to the Swedish American Museum where visitors of all ages can learn about the history of the restaurant and theater, and hear the stories of puppeteers and visitors alike.
Along with dozens of puppets, the exhibit includes elaborate et pieces, meticulously detailed props, and smorgasbord and Kungsholm-related ephemera.
