Organized by Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI), the exhibition will be on view through Jan. 10. “The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited” explores Henson’s groundbreaking work for film and television and his transformative impact on popular culture. Visitors will see how Henson and his team of builders, performers and writers brought to life the enduringly popular worlds of “The Muppet Show,” “Sesame Street,” “Fraggle Rock,” “The Dark Crystal,” “Labyrinth” and more. The exhibition also includes material from Henson’s experimental film projects and his early work as a restlessly creative performer, filmmaker and technical innovator. Among the artifacts are more than 20 puppets, character sketches, storyboards, scripts, photographs, film and television clips, behind-the-scenes footage, iconic costumes and interactive experiences that allow visitors to try their hand at puppeteering on camera and designing a puppet character.  There will be timed entry to promote social distancing, contact the Durham Museum for more.
