I went to a show but I caught a quick glimpse of the museum and was impressed with what I saw. I definitely would enjoy coming back and spending more time browsing.

You gotta see the Ghastly Dreadfuls

Amazing museum and shows. The Ghastly Dreadfuls show in October is a tradition for me. The children's shows have workshops afterwards where you make your own puppet. It's themed to the show and is super fun (even as an adult). The museums are incredible - you'll learn about puppets from round the world and of course, get to see some Muppets and sesame street friends. This is one of my favorite museums in Atlanta

My daughter is looking into an internship for puppetry - do you have suggestions for temporary housing if she does, indeed, successfully get one? We live in Florida ...

Ruth Moore | Oct 30, 2018
Clay Smith | Oct 30, 2018

Hi Ruth. I personally don't have any experience with this, however the Center For Puppetry Arts is very near the GA Tech campus so it shouldn't be very hard to find. Also, depending on when her internship is, the serorities and fraternities in the area rent out rooms when over extended breaks. That could be a cheap and safe option as well.
