The full review

The largest Jim Henson collection in the world, donated personally by Henson and his family. Original Kermit (the one made from his mother's coat), Big Bird, Yip Yips, and the entire cast of the 1986 Labyrinth (with David Bowie's Goblin King at the center). The Global Gallery shows world puppetry traditions; the on-site theater puts on weekly puppet shows.
