![]() Take for example Bert & Ernie, one of Henson's classic contrasting personality duos, and how cooperation, even in the face of being totally different people, could often produce wonderful results. I love that Jim Henson's land of make-believe was so close to real life. That was one of those experiences-seeing Spinney at Dragon Con-you never even fathom would happen, but that you'll cherish always. In fact, I got to see Carol Spinney, the puppeteer who portrayed Big Bird all those years I watched him on Sesame Street. We're also fortunate to have so many awesome opportunities to meet celebrities. We're so fortunate to have the Center for Puppetry Arts here in Atlanta. There's a mock-up television studio, too, and throughout the Museum there are video clips of some of everyone's favorites, from Sam and Friends to The Muppet Show and lots more! There's also a gallery featuring an interactive creature shop (some of the drawers pull out to reveal even more puppetry artifacts). The Jim Henson Collection side of the Museum features gallery after gallery, one of them being Jim's office, which contains loads of memorabilia that you too would showcase in your office.Īmong the artifacts is a giant, illuminated moose head! Actually having seen a live moose up-close-and-personal in wild of Wyoming (I didn't know at the time that they sometimes charge), I can tell you that this head is probably life-size. There is LOTS to see here.some of it interactive, all of it fun! Be prepared for a lovely, laugh-filled stroll down memory lane while discovering the fascinating career of one whose creativity and intellect brought to the world great learning, loving and laughter. You will be greeted by Jim Henson himself upon entering the Jim Henson Collection side of the Worlds of Puppetry Museum, along with personalities from throughout the decades. In the meantime, let's talk Muppets, Fraggles and The Dark Crystal, to name only a few highlights in the Museum! I'll write about the new Museum's magnificent Global Collection another day. This post is about the Jim Henson Collection, part of the new Worlds of Puppetry Museum.
