Helen Huang, UMD professor of Costume Design, will also be featured, demonstrating the design process for a puppet.

Images from Division of Cultural and Community Life, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution will help exemplify different types of puppets as well.
ATLANTA PUPPETRY MUSEUM HOURS SERIES
Six puppets, including a character from the original Fraggle Rock series on loan from The Jim Henson Company and others on loan from the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, will be on view. It also asks a playfully provocative question: What makes a puppet? The diversity of puppet styles and techniques displayed provides the opportunity for visitors to think more broadly about an art form that transcends cultural boundaries, while also demonstrating how puppets work. The exhibit explores how puppets have captured our imagination by examining specific puppets, universal characteristics, international aesthetics, and local puppet companies. The Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at the University of Maryland will present The Art & Craft of Puppetry, a new exhibit on view February 1 through July 29, 2022.
