Muppets Monsters and Magic
From Muppet Wiki
The Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito, California hosted Jim Henson’s Muppets Monsters and Magic from February 16 to May 1, 1994. The exhibit was a hands-on extravanganza that featured puppets from The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Dinosaurs, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Mother Goose Stories, and The StoryTeller.
The puppets on display included Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, and Camilla all dressed in Muppets Take Manhattan costumes; Uncle Traveling Matt, Sprocket, Junior Gorg, and a team of radio-controlled Doozers; Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, Grover, The Count and Oscar the Grouch; Baby Sinclair; Baby Kermit, Baby Piggy, Baby Gonzo, Baby Fozzie and Baby Rowlf from The Muppets Take Manhattan; Hoggle, a goblin guard and three Fireys; Mother Goose and her Goslings; Hans from "Hans My Hedgehog"; and the Ritual Master Skeksis.
Hands-on displays included a touch wall, where attendees could feel many of the materials used to create the Muppets, a video demonstration, where guests could try their hand at video puppetry, and an "ask the expert" table where you could get information about the Creature Shop.
Also on display was concept art and photographs from various Jim Henson film and television productions, and movie posters from all the Muppet movies.
One wall exhibit entitled “Early Muppets” featured images from Sam and Friends, The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, and the La Choy Dragon commercials. Towards the end of the exhibit was a wall display called “New Visions” that featured images from The Secret Life of Toys, City Kids, Dog City, Muppet Treasure Island, and the unfinished project Borgel.
