The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Exhibit Coming To NYC!

An exhibit of the puppets and creatures from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is coming to the Museum of the Moving Image in New York. 

"Creatures from the Land of Thra: Character Design for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance"

 Will open next week on September 11 and run until February 23, 2020. 

Creatures from the Land of Thra: Character Design for The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance explores the process of designing the fantastical characters for the new Netflix series, a prequel to the 1982 film co-directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz. 

The exhibit features a selection of concept art, maquettes, puppets, and behind-the-scenes images, tracing the collaboration between concept artist Brian Froud, who originated the world of Thra in The Dark Crystal, and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, which built the puppets for the series. Highlights include the Hunter Skeksis, the General Skeksis, a Fizzgig, and the All-Maudra and Seladon Gelflings, as well as a series of detailed maquettes, created by Toby Froud, which were used as models for the characters. 

Info and tickets to the museum can be found here.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is currently streaming on Netflix.
