00:02Much-loved, iconic characters drawing generations of fans.
00:06From the colourful cast of Muppets to the creatures of the Dark Crystal,
00:11visitors to the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane will be immersed in the Jim Henson Company's creations.
00:17I am really enjoying being my inner child again and seeing a lot of the things that I grew up
00:22with.
00:22I'm like, how did you get this all in one room? It's amazing.
00:25The exhibition features 500 items, including original handcrafted puppets, animatronics, costumes and more.
00:33From small to big, you know, from early to contemporary, there's a lot of depth and breadth to this show.
00:41There's so much craft and thought that goes into bringing these worlds to life,
00:44and you really understand that by coming through the exhibit.
00:47The set of Fraggle Rock Back to the Rock was shipped from Canada.
00:51Guests can walk behind the scenes to see how the magic comes to life.
00:54The best thing is the reaction of everybody watching the shows and then seeing the characters in person.
01:02In a celebration of creativity, this is the first time crowds will be able to get up close and personal
01:08with 70 years of Jim Henson's beloved work.
01:11The exhibition opens to the public from tomorrow and is set to run until April next year.
01:16Thank you very much.
