Before Muppets creator and innovator Jim Henson transformed puppeteering and television, puppets weren t exactly magical.
Most TV programming in the 1950s was live and often crude or serious, said Donna Braden, senior curator of public life at The Henry Ford. And puppet programs did anything but conceal that someone was literally pulling the strings. You could see the puppeteer and you could see all the strings and see everything going on, said Braden. From the beginning, he (Henson) thought there must be more creative ways to use TV as a medium.
And he found them. How Henson changed television while creating beloved characters on Sesame Street, The Muppets and more characters still popular now will be explored in a new traveling exhibition that arrives in early June and runs through September at The Henry Ford in Dearborn.
