We’re pleased to inform the public that the Bread & Puppet Museum is now open for drop in visits.
Please be advised we require visitors to wear a mask while inside the museum and respect other visitors by observing social distancing.
We hope you have a good and safe visit!
We are now performing shows every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday throughout the summer! In order to keep our community and our audiences safe, we’re putting in place a number of safety measures:
We are restricting the size of our audience in compliance with state guidelines for outdoor gatherings. This means you must purchase a ticket to see a show so we can track the numbers. You can purchase tickets at https://1284bf722a.nxcli.net/book-tickets-for-upcoming-shows . We are not accepting same-day drop-ins to the shows. Please click on the ticketing tab above to get your tickets.
The 2021 Calendar is now available in our online shop!
The images in the 2021 Bread & Puppet calendar are selections from the 741 minatures in the ALL series that was created by Peter Schumann in the winter of 2020 with oil pastel, marker and ball point pen on brown linen paper.
Image selection, layout and design by Elka Schumann and Lila Winstead.

Our museum is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Please check back for updates!
We’ll continue to monitor the situation and let you know when we plan to reopen.
Bread & Puppet is currently considering how and whether it will be possible to move ahead with our summer 2020 season in Glover, VT.
Our highest priority in making these decisions is ensuring the health and safety of our local community.
Please check back for updates!
Dear friends,
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic we have cancelled our Spring Diagonal Everything Tour.
We’d like to give a big thank you to everyone who hosted us, brought us food, came to see our shows and helped us on our way.
We’re hoping to do a “Let’s try it again tour” in the spring of 2021. If you’d like to inquire about the possibility of Bread & Puppet coming to your town, please email Josh at jrkrugman(at)gmail(dot)com
Stay well and safe!
