Visit a world only seen on the big screen with our upcoming virtual event! Join the Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) on September 30 from 10 to 11:30 am for “Virtual Object Dive—The Dark Crystal: The Tools of Thra” and discover a world brought to life in one of Jim Henson’s most iconic films. Jim Henson and folktale artist Brian Found created a Thra filled with lush landscapes and terrifying imagery unlike anything seen before. Dive into this world with a close look at the tools and belongings of the characters. Participants can also create their own tools from home. This event is open to all ages and is free, but registration is required - visit the link in our bio. #Maryland #History #Culture #JimHenson #TheDarkCrystal #FilmHistory (Jim Henson and Kathryn Mullen performing the puppets Jen and Kira on the set of “The Dark Crystal” in 1981.
