Visiting Storrs' Puppet Museum (Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, With John Bell)
Channel: Daniel Rosehill
Date: 2022-07-13

Nestled in the quiet town of Storrs, CT - best known as the home of the University of Connecticut or 'Uconn' for short - is the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry. 

Storrs — and Uconn — is also home to the US's only graduate degree in puppetry - an underappreciated but highly pervasive form of performance art that still enjoys wide application in Hollywood, theater, and other contexts.

John Bell, who directs the Museum, kindly took time out of his day to show me around the museum's permanent exhibit and the temporary exhibit of the work of Marice Sendak.
