Museum of the Moving Image

The Museum of the Moving Image is a fascinating museum in Astoria, easily reached by public transportation and there is plenty of street parking.  There are temporary exhibits which are wonderful but my favorite is the permanent Jim Henson exhibit.  (I am a huge Muppet fan.) 

Bring your teacher ID-teachers get in for FREE!!!!

Muppets

Grab your teacher ID (it gives you free admission) and go see the Jim Henson exhibit at the Museum of the Moving Image.  The only down side is the Muppet of Bloomberg in the lobby--no photos in the exhibit.

I thought the exhibit would be more kid oriented but wasn't disappointed.  I learned tons of stuff  about the genius of this man and saw many of the things he did that go way beyond his puppets.  And, if I was still going to be teaching, I would try to find a way to use his story boards as a way to solve math problems.
