As the season No Strings On Me: Cinema’s Living Puppet begins at Hyde Park Picture House, Martha from our team shares some of the things she discovered about the great puppet master Jim Henson, when she was lucky enough to go to an exhibition dedicated to him at The Museum of the Moving Image in New York.

A world of imagination
“As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.”
Jim Henson
I’m so grateful that Jim Henson kept his world of make-believe very much alive and thriving into adulthood. His imagination brought us so much joy in the form of The Muppets, Sesame Street, Labyrinth, one of my absolute favourite Christmas films, Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas, and so much more.
Our Picture House
Donations will support the ongoing maintenance of HPPH, including continuing to work with outside specialists to keep our building in great shape, investing in training to allow us to continue to learn about how best to work with a historic building and investment in the technology we use to continue to make the building truly work for all the different members of the community who need us.
