![]() Super fans of the movie will squeal at seeing the behind the scenes photography and creative illustrations they used to produce the creatures of this world. ![]() The attention to detail within the display is extraordinary: the labyrinth walls sparkle and you feel like you've entered the movie once you see Sarah's lipstick marks on the floor pointing you in the direction to head through the exhibit. They were eager to answer all of our questions and chit chat about the attention to detail in the Labyrinth exhibit. The staff on site was so friendly and passionate about their collections. We were lucky enough to visit on a very quiet weekday where we had the displays mostly to ourselves. This was seriously one of the coolest museum experiences we've ever had. We've never visited the Center for Puppetry Arts before so I had no idea what to expect from our visit. IMPORTANT NOTE: This was a temporary exhibition that, as of 2019, is no longer on display, but there are still Labyrinth things to see at the Center for Puppetry Arts! I'm not sure who was more excited about this but I think it might just be the tallest of our group. When I heard that the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta was hosting a special exhibit of the Labyrinth creatures, I had to schedule a girls' getaway for the kids and me to go and visit. Last summer, my sister and I introduced the movie to my little girls during a "Girls' Movie Night" and they have become equally obsessed with Sarah, Hoggle, Ludo, Sir Didymus and crew. I love all things Muppets and Sesame Street but Jim Henson's Labyrinth is one of my very favorite childhood movie memories. I have always been an enormous Jim Henson fan. NOTE: This was a temporary exhibit that is no longer on full display but you can still find some Labyrinth objects as part of the museum's collection. All funds raised go to the guild's scholarship fund.Visit Jim Henson's amazing puppets from the Labyrinth movie staring David Bowie at the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.
