SUMMARY:Make\, Believe\, Magic:  The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 70 years of creativity and innovation\, the exclusive-to-Brisbane exhibition ‘Make\, Believe\, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company’ will be an unprecedented exploration of world-building and imaginative storytelling. \nFounded by Jim and Jane Henson in 1955\, The Jim Henson Company has created some of the most cherished characters in screen history and continues to revolutionise the art of puppetry for television and film. Their indelible imprint on entertainment\, education and popular culture globally is seen in the much-loved series Fraggle Rock and Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock\, the treasured fantasy worlds of The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth\, the iconic characters of the Muppets\, and the instantly recognisable residents of Sesame Street. \nImmense and immersive\, the exhibition will explore the Company’s dynamic trajectory from practical puppetry to today’s animatronic and digital innovations\, as well as its ongoing dedication to the craft of creature design and trailblazing developments in on-screen puppeteering. It will feature hundreds of objects\, from practical puppets and animatronic creatures to props\, costumes\, original drawings and moving image clips. \nIn a world-first\, ‘Make\, Believe\, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company’ will include the Great Hall set from the Emmy Award-winning television series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock\, taking audiences behind the scenes of a working puppeteer’s film set. \nAt QAGOMA from 12 September 2026 – 18 April 2027 \nFIND OUT MORE \nImage: Production still from Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock 2022–present / © Apple.
