This was a great place to start in the museum. This was one of the first things that I saw when I first walked in, and it just set the tone for the whole visit. I loved seeing the beginning phases and early stages of film. The way they broke down the shots, and depicted the “moment of rest” between images helped me to understand the beginning of the film era.
Seeing this was absolutely crazy. I walked up to this in complete awe, thinking: “two year old me is screaming right now”. Sesame street was something I watched religiously as a baby and growing up. It was one of the things that would calm me down and kept my mother sane. Seeing the original puppets was so cool for me because they had such a huge impact on my childhood.
This was one of my favorite things in the museum because I love portrait photography and faces in general. Seeing the video they had was so cool because it showed all different historic moments in film. I sat and watched the whole eight minutes because I could not get enough of it. I loved looking at all of the portraits because of the inspiration they gave me.
