The featured exhibit at the Museum of the City of NY right now is all about the history of puppetry in the city. It covers how immigrants brought puppets, enriching the diverse city, The small gallery had a range of famous puppets - those from tv, stage, and street.
It was pretty cool to see Oscar the Grouch, Lamb Chop (oh how I loved her!), the Mahna Mahna muppets, and even a puppet from Avenue Q and Lion King! The city has such a diverse puppet culture including Tony Saarg's puppet creations setting the stage for the Thanksgiving Day parade we all know today. A super sweet exhibit!

What a neat exhibit! We were just talking about Oscar the Grouch on our walk yesterday! He was one of my favorite Sesame Street characters.

Oh my goodness, I would love this exhibit! I also remember Lamb Chop. What a name!!!

This is a wonderful collection of puppets. It is nice to see some of the favourite characters from childhood.
