This exhibition is about taking a current exhibition and placing it into a new venue. I picked the Sesame street exhibition which is now showed at Museum of Moving Image.
Inspired by the stage where the show is held. The idea of the street reminds me of the high line park along the west side. It offers the value of raising the elevated space and allow the use of contrast between various sizes, which brings fun to this project. The mission for kids is to learn new knowledge while playing. For parents, it can remind them the pure fun of childhood and the story behind the scenes of how puppets work.

Here is the show map to give you a brief impression of the four sections in this pop up show, leading you through a brand new interaction experience.
In this panel, in addition to people will learn the character of Kermit, the frog. Through a unique digital interaction, they are allowed to press the buttons on the handrail to control the head part of a giant board in the shape of Kermit that moves its mouth to convey senses of curiosity, worry and radiance.
This section is about big bird. There are large amount of people have watched the show, but there are barely any people who know how a giant puppet like big bird is moved around. Here is the chance to learn how Jim operating the giant puppet.
The fourth section is about the history of cookie monster. The exhibition will walk you through the monster entertaining career in a form of timeline. From the first time shows up on the screen till the time becoming a star in commercial advertising. These moments will be bullet points on the timeline along with short description and small scale pictures.
The last part takes place in one of the tunnel of high line, combing both digital and physical experience.
Visitors can take those facial features, move them around and create their own muppet. Their own characters will then be projected onto the walls at full scale. Let them enjoy their creations.
