#Puppetry museum series#

Part is explaining the scope of a series that took more than 170 puppets and over 80 puppeteers to create. Puppet Museum (Marionette Museum), is the Baroque Puppet Theatre, which includes Baroque Machine Puppet Production Group and Puppet Drama Don Juan, Flute. The Worlds of Puppetry Museum features the Jim Henson Collection Gallery, the definitive collection of more than 500 puppets, props, and costumes honoring. That character is a nod to Yoda of the “Star Wars” films, who was performed by puppeteer Frank Oz, a longtime partner of Henson and co-director of the original “Dark Crystal.”īesides the new special exhibit, the museum also has a new director: Sarah Dylla, who most recently worked at the Atlanta History Center, where she curated the recent revamp of the exhibit about the 1996 Summer Olympics.Īt a June 17 preview event, Dylla told the crowd that the exhibit’s behind-the-scenes approach is intended to engage people who aren’t familiar with the cult-hit “Dark Crystal” world as well as hardcore fans. The breakout star of Disney’s blockbuster series “The Mandalorian” is the so-called Baby Yoda, an alien creature primarily portrayed by a puppet. The Ballard Institute is proud to be Connecticuts State Puppet Museum.

The series was part of something of a resurgence of puppetry in the now fully computer-animated genres of fantasy and sci-fi. This website is based on an exhibition that was on view at the National Museum of American History from Decemto April 13, 2014. The museum curates and produces exhibitions of puppetry, both at the museum and for touring across the United States, and offers regular puppet performances, workshops, forums, and scholarly events, as well as museum tours.
