Had a chance to visit the Jim Henson exhibit at Seattle’s Experience Music Project this past week and, if it wasn’t closing tomorrow, I would be recommending you check it out. Hopefully, since it is a traveling exhibition, it will find a new temporary home in a location near you, because it’s wonderful. You see original storyboards, original muppets (Kermit, Bert and Ernie, etc.), and video of some classic Henson-produced commercials and short films (one, a non-Muppet short called Time Piece, is fantastic).
Here’s some photos (shot double-aught spy style by yours truly):
And here’s a youtube clip with some excerpts of Time Piece:

UPDATE: Thanks to Mark Evanier from news from me for finding the gull video of Time Piece, embedded below:
