Watch: Geek Out with Adam Savage Visiting Jim Henson’s Archives

Take a quick trip into the past to explore legendary monster puppeteer Jim Henson’s archives. Throughout October, Adam Savage’s Tested YouTube channel has been posting videos from their visit to the Henson shop in NYC. One of the best videos is his time spent with The Jim Henson Legacy looking at old archival items while talking about Henson with vice-president Karen Falk. One of Jim Henson’s Creature Shops is located in Queens, NY, and it’s situated right next door to the “Henson Legacy”, the organization dedicated to preserving his history and managing his archives. Savage looks through old artwork and sketches by Jim Henson, while discussing his early work in the 1960s, before he started Sesame Street.
