Contemporary Art Gallery - Making, Believing, Magic: The Worlds of The Jim Henson Company

Australia exclusive, global premiere! The most anticipated arts and cultural event of 2026 has officially been announced! "Creativity, Imagination, Magic: The World of Jim Henson", a special exhibition, will be exclusively held at the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA) in Brisbane starting September 12, bringing audiences worldwide an unprecedented feast of fantasy and creativity in tribute to 70 years of innovation and legend by The Jim Henson Company.

As an exclusive limited exhibition in Brisbane, this showcase features a unique global premiere highlight: the first‑ever complete recreation of the classic grand lobby set from the Emmy Award‑winning series Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. Replicating the original television set with meticulous detail, it allows fans to break free from the screen, step directly into the iconic narrative setting, immerse themselves in the magical atmosphere of the classic series, and relive the emotional moments of childhood and youth.

Unlike standard art exhibitions, this special showcase focuses on an in‑depth behind‑the‑scenes deconstruction. It comprehensively unpacks The Jim Henson Company's world‑building, storytelling techniques, and creative logic, revealing behind‑the‑scenes footage, prop designs, and creative insights from classic puppet films and television. It takes audiences straight into the puppeteers' creative studios to unveil the birth process of iconic works and provide a deep dive into the innovative core of a legendary entertainment brand.

From classic puppet character design and fantasy set construction to imaginative narrative structures, the exhibition traces the brand's 70‑year creative journey, showcasing timeless artistic appeal and an innovative spirit. Whether you are a dedicated fan, an art lover, or a family visiting with children, everyone will find surprises in the exhibition and experience the collision of creativity and magic.
