Podcast: Exhibit Tour
Created as a companion to Jim Henson’s Fantastic World, the exhibition podcast offers a behind-the-scenes look at Jim Henson and his imaginative creations. The 30-minute tour features Karen Falk, director of the Henson Archives; Craig Shemin, former writer for The Jim Henson Company; and Cheryl Henson, Jim Henson’s daughter and the president of the Henson Foundation.
Segmented into 20 tracks that correspond to objects in the exhibit, the podcast can be downloaded to your own MP3 player as an audio companion while exploring the exhibit. However, it can certainly be enjoyed at any time, independent of a visit to the exhibit.
This podcast was produced for the Louisiana Art and Science Museum by Acoustiguide Inc. with the assistance of The Jim Henson Legacy, through a generous grant from AT&T.
