Entry No. 17 — the Atlanta file — filed under: single-subject

Center for Puppetry Arts

Houses what's described as the world's largest collection of Jim Henson artifacts — 500 to 700 retired Muppets from Fraggle Rock, The Muppet Show, and Sesame Street — in a dedicated wing that opened in 2015, alongside puppets from The Dark Crystal, The Lion King, and cultures across the globe, in a former elementary school building.

The move: Book the self-guided museum ticket, spend an hour eye-to-eye with retired Muppets in the Jim Henson wing, then check the schedule for one of the evening puppet shows programmed for adults rather than kids.
