As a result, people here are pretty engaged. The name says it all: If puppets aren't your thing, this isn't the spot for you. Who do you think would most enjoy the museum? The special exhibits gallery features rotating installations like "Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: World of Myth & Magic," designed to complement the recent Netflix release.
And, because puppets are meant to be experienced in action, most feature a video element. Thanks to a multi-million-dollar refresh, all of the climate-controlled spaces are outfitted with LED lights that illuminate the exhibits without endangering their priceless contents. The impressive permanent collection is so large (more than 6,000 items) that only about 20 percent is on display at any given time. The Jim Henson Gallery contains the world's largest collection of his work, from puppets like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and Big Bird to costumes and videos, including those from Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, and others from Sesame Street and The Muppets.
