Jim Henson was a creative genius. The Center of Puppetry Arts ensures his legacy endures with the opening of the Worlds of Puppetry Museum, housing the world’s most comprehensive collection of his work. The Henson family donated more than 500 artifacts, displayed on a rotating basis, including Big Bird, Kermit the Frog and Jen and Aughra from The Dark Crystal.
Kids will love the interactive displays and the mock TV studio where they can perform puppet shows.
The Global Collection gallery features a history of puppetry, with 170 puppets from around the world, including Punch and Judy from the 1600s.
