Jim Henson retrospective in D.C.

by Adam Finley, posted May 21st 2006 6:31PM

dark crystalHey, did you wake up this morning and find yourself inside the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.? If so, you should stick around because the museum is hosting a Jim Henson retrospective through September 4. You'll be able to check out creatures from as far back as Sam and Friends, the show which would portend the Muppet aesthetic, as well as animatronic creatures from The Dark Crystal. Some of the classic Muppets such as Kermit, Rowlf, Dr. Teeth, and the Swedish Chef, all originally voiced by Jim Henson, will also be on display. Now i just have to try to get out to D.C. before this disappears.

I was in DC 2 weeks ago for a Pearl Jam concert and we ran into this wonderful exhibit by surprise (along with Julia Child's complete kitchen). What a thrill to see the actual muppets! The Dark Crystal animatronics were really big. Anyone in the DC area should try to see these.

Wow, I actually looked this up on the Smithsonian website this weekend. We are going to DC for Memorial Day weekend and hopefully we will see this exhibit. Only thing stopping us would be crowds, this is supposed to be a relaxing vacation, not a stand in line for hours in hopes of seeing something vacation.
