The muppets are in town! The National Heritage Museum in Lexington is hosting the traveling exhibit about Jim Henson and his muppets. The exhibit focuses on the how and why of Henson's creation and passion for the muppets. Several of the muppets are on display like Kermit and some of Henson's earlier creations for commercials and short plays. Also on display are original drawings and storyboards as well as a few videos of Henson interviews. For fans of Henson's darker work, there is a section devote to The Dark Crystal. While the exhibit is thorough and interesting, it may bore children. This exhibit features a great deal of written material and older videos. All of Henson's work is innovative and creative, but may not grab children's interest for long.
However, if you grew up watching Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock or The Muppet Show - check it out!
