What is the name of this print?

Hi, thanks for respondiing, I know its a novelty print LOL, but I wanted to know what the little characters are called or what they represent.
 
Several of the little figures are clearly marionettes, some look like puppets, and perhaps some other theatrical-type figures like mimes. Though I can't quite get a good look at some of them. The only word I can make out is "museum" and I think I see "pupp" as well--which fits in with some figures being puppets.

Here's an old thread on one of the eBay boards about this same print: http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...int&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a

There are several marionette museums in Europe. Perhaps DVF may have been influenced by one she visited? Or perhaps one of them commissioned her to do a print for them to make apparel they could sell in their shop? Just guessing...
