Often, I complain that there is too much writing in a museum. The Jim Henson section of the museum was beautifully laid out and was clear and explicit however, the world puppetry section was less effective. The acoustics between the ticket office and the customer were not good. I asked for two tickets, but realized when I was about to go into the museum that I had only been charged for one, so I had to get back in line. We didn’t get off to a particularly good start. If you have any interest in the subject, $12.50 admission is worth it. There was another exhibit on puppets of the world we also saw but not as fascinating to me, however still worth a walk thru. You will enjoy behind the scene type photos and learning about Jim Henson. If you are a fan of Henson's, then I highly recommend this museum, it was great. My only complaint is I wanted even more and wished the museum were even bigger because I was enjoying it so much. Years prior, I had been in Hollywood for vacation and been to the actual Jim Henson studios so when I visited Atlanta, it was really cool to see more and learn more about Jim Henson. There is a small section on it in the main area but extra props and back stage photos were on display. I was lucky enough to attend when the extra exhibit on the Dark Crystal was there. I am huge fan of Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal movies from my childhood so was super excited to visit the museum. I left wanting more because to me it was so good and fascinating. This was a great museum and so different from others I have been to.
