Info

Off-site Exhibits Along with the exhibits on-site at the Center, puppets from the museum collection are on display in several locations throughout the city. Atlantix, Underground Atlanta Underground Atlanta, a historic retail and entertainment center downtown, is also home to AtlanTix, a half-price ticket booth run by the Atlanta Coalition of Performing Arts. Visitors to Underground and the booth can view several of the Center’s puppets, including Don Quixote, his sword and horse, and a Gent from the Opening Ceremonies of the 1996 Olympics. WSB-TV, Atlanta On September 29, 1948, WSB-TV went on the air. Among the programs viewers watched that night was a children’s television show, Woody Willow & Friends, with marionettes manipulated by Don and Ruth Gilpin. In 1983, the Gilpins donated puppets and memorabilia from the show to the Center’s permanent collection. Today, some of those puppets, including a dapper Fox, are on display at the station. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Atlanta Weary travelers entering or exiting the airport can view several cases of puppets from the Center’s permanent collection, representing several countries including Indonesia, China, Germany and Turkey. Library The Center’s Research Library is full of resources on the art of puppetry, including books and videos from around the world – many of which are not carried at regular libraries. Although some patrons just browse or watch a video for fun, the majority of patrons use the library for specific research. For instance, one high school student did research for a homework project on Chinese shadow puppets, while another studied Japanese Bunraku. Professors used the library to work on lesson plans. Aspiring puppeteers used the library to learn more about the craft. 16 Young patrons in the Museum Gift Shop
