One thing that I don't understand is that both Jim Henson and Jerry Nelson had excellent singing voices and they both performed duets and sang together when they performed their characters. Why didn't Jim and Jerry perform a duet together on Fraggle Rock while they were performing Cantus and Gobo? Boy. That without a doubt would've been real interesting and a real treat for Fraggle and Muppet Fans. Especially that Gobo and Cantus are in the same glass plate together.
Hi! I made it myself by synching up an edited-down version of the audio tour with the appropriate photos. Even though we were not allowed to take pics by the docents, images can be found online if you're diligent. Most of these were from Flickr. If you want to hear the full audio, there's a link in the description that tells where to find it. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
@dpatsos1 Yes, the Mississippi Museum of Art, in Jackson. But the exhibit is a touring Smithsonian show, and it moved on a week after this was shot. Go to the Smithsonian site and you should be able to find info on its current or upcoming locations/dates.
kermits eyes werent actually made from a ping pong ball they were made from a toy called wacky stax, in fact jim would continue using the toy for his muppets until the early years of sesame street
I checked the SITES website (Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service) and it is now listed as an archived exhibition, so it is apparently no longer touring. :(
Lady said "Skeksis" wrong... >_> Dishonor on you (the lady), dishonor on your family, dishonor on your cow! j/k But really. She should have looked it up a little more before helping them make this tour thinggy...
+Andrea_ skull Fantastic World was exhibited in a couple of places. A permanent exhibit of Jim Hensons work can be found at The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta. The Henson family donated over 500 props, costumes, and puppets to them.
