About the company:
The Mask Museum is a unique museum, which contains a huge collection of theater masks. Each exhibition of masks tells about special traditions in the city at different times. Some masks on display in the museum are over five hundred years old. So, there are exhibits that once belonged to slave owners. Most masks are handmade. The museum contains objects that are still used in national ritual dances: the “battle of tigers” and the production of “Moors and Christians”.
