Entering through the doors will transform anyone back to a kid as you walk through thousands of years of puppet history. You can catch live shows in the auditorium or attend a workshop to make your own puppet. They have over 4,000 puppets on display from all over the world. However, the museum is best known for their collection of Jim Henson's creations and a recreation of his working space where he made all of the puppets you have come to love.
