The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, Georgia, has pivoted to digital programming as a way of providing online access to exhibitions — adapting as many museums are to the coronavirus.
The museum’s special exhibition, Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal: World of Myth and Magic, opened in 2018 and was recently extended through the end of June. Thanks to a virtual tour from Museum Director Jill Nash Malool, fans of the puppet-animated fantasy film can enter the mystical world of Thra through her eyes.
At just over 5 minutes long, the tour features props and puppets that were used to bring the film to life. It’s the next best thing to being there!
