憑藉著對偶戲藝術的熱情，臺原藝術文化基金會董事長林經甫先生，將數十年來個人收藏的戲偶捐出，希望臺北市政府能為它們成立一處永久保存、展覽的處所。經過臺北市政府文化局的縝密規劃，這批珍貴文物終於在「威京集團京華城社區回饋計畫案」中找到歸宿。兼具戲偶展出、演出、教學、典藏功能的「台北偶戲館」，於2004年八月正式開館。
台北偶戲館，以傳統經典的根基為底蘊，結合具有當代議題的創新發展，兼具古典與時代性。將獨特的臺灣偶戲美學，透過演出、展覽、藝術教育、國際交流、館際合作、社區營造等各方面與生活結合並逐漸開枝散葉，讓臺灣的故事、文學、音樂、視覺藝術、語言、文化，因為偶戲而讓新生代更加認識自己的文化，與世界接軌。
The Puppetry Art Center of Taipei combines contemporary, topic based innovative development with rich cultural deposits of a traditional classical foundation, featuring both classical and epochal sentiments. Taiwan's unique puppetry aesthetics are combined with life in various aspects through performances, exhibitions, art education, international communication, interlibrary cooperation and community creation etc, while gradually branching out, allowing the story, literature, music, visual art, language, and culture of Taiwan to become more familiar to new generations through puppetry, thereby making a connection to the world.
