The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company
To mark 70 years of The Jim Henson Company, QAGOMA in Brisbane is opening a huge exhibition all about how the magic actually gets made. Founded by Jim and Jane Henson in 1955, the company gave us the Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and they are still leading the way in puppetry today.
What kids will see
Hundreds of objects fill the space, including real puppets, animatronic creatures, props, costumes, original drawings and clips from the screen. Kids get to see the journey from hand-made puppets right through to today’s animatronics and digital wizardry, and learn how creature designers dream up a character from scratch.
The showstopper is a world first. The Great Hall set from the Emmy winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock has been recreated so families can step behind the scenes onto a working puppeteer’s film set.
