This year we will hear from Margot Kopera, Director of Learning & Interpretation at the Maryland Center for History and Culture. Margot will speak about the Center’s featured exhibits, including the new traveling show The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited.
Developed by Museum of the Moving Image, this 5,000-square-foot, Muppet-filled multimedia exhibition is full of hundreds of objects, including puppets, character sketches, storyboards, scripts, costumes, and film and television clips. Margot will also discuss how the Center reaches out to new audiences.
