### ✨ EXHIBITIONS WE’LL BE SEEING

#### 🐸 The Jim Henson Exhibition

A joyful, nostalgic journey into the imagination of the legendary creator of The Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth.
See over 300 artifacts, including 47 original puppets—Kermit, Miss Piggy, Big Bird, Elmo, The Swedish Chef, and more—plus sketches, storyboards, and rare film clips. Try your hand at interactive puppeteering and learn how Jim Henson and his brilliant team brought these beloved characters to life.

#### 💥 MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE — Story and Spectacle

Your mission (should you choose to accept it): explore the adrenaline-fueled world of the Mission: Impossible films!
This new exhibition celebrates the artistry, storytelling, and jaw-dropping stunts that define the franchise. Discover how Tom Cruise’s real-life daredevil stunts are crafted, watch exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and see props and materials from across the films—all honoring the mix of courage, creativity, and technical mastery behind each sequence.

#### 🎞 Behind the Screen + Superman at Tut’s Fever Movie Palace

This signature MoMI exhibition is a 15,000-square-foot playground for film lovers—an inside look at how movies and shows are made, edited, and brought to the big (and small) screen.
Within it, visit Tut’s Fever Movie Palace, a whimsical, Egyptian-themed mini-theater created by Red Grooms and Lysiane Luong—where restored 1940s Superman cartoons will be shown in vivid 4K color!
Meet Clark Kent in “The Mechanical Monsters,” “The Bulleteers,” and more timeless shorts that defined early superhero animation.
Fun fact: Each chair in Tut’s Fever features hand-painted portraits of Hollywood legends, from Rita Hayworth to Mae West, and you might even spot James Dean resting eternally (cigarette and all!) in his sarcophagus sculpture.

#### 😱 Makeup and Production Design for The Exorcist

Peek behind the horror. Discover how the filmmakers transformed a quiet Georgetown townhouse into the site of cinematic terror.
This exhibit showcases the makeup and production design that made The Exorcist one of the most influential—and terrifying—films ever made. You’ll see how special effects and creative choices helped the movie break new ground in the art of fear.
