Museum of Moving Image

Going in .. one is greeted by a beautiful video montage wall .. 

Heading up, the Museum attempts to document the history of film making by taking the visitor on a tour of the various components and people who make up a film 

and the props .. 

Like ..the Mask .. which i loved while growing up 

Mrs Doubtfire.. i remembered i had a LaserDisc which i played repeatedly .. 

This was used in Black Swan for the former lead ballerina whom was involved in a car accident.. 

But the key attraction for me was the current Jim Henson exhibit that they had going on .. i wanted to see Muppets ! 

The exhibition showcased his early works to his later success with the puppets, movies & commercials. Photos were not allowed within the exhibit, but as you can see, i couldn't resist the ones of the Muppets. But there were posters, early works, video shows & TV displays on how he managed to use music & humor to make his point. The exhibition shown a turning point in film making, years before special effects took place. 

For me it was a sentimental journey through Sesame Street. As a only child growing up, TV and books were my only companions for hours on end. 

Thank you Jim, for giving me Sesame Street.
