Hi everyone!
I just got back from "Doors Open Toronto" an annual event here where they open up architecturally important buildings in Toronto to the public for free tours. I went down to the CBC Broadcasting Centre (among other places) for a tour and lo and behold I found lots of Muppet stuff!
The Muppets from "Sesame Park" (the Canadian Sesame Street) are on display as well as a Gorg clock from Fraggle Rock and Dodi in the airplane used in Sesame Park's opening.
All of these items were on display in the CBC Museum which is open daily to the public (it's free). I was also up in the TV studios on the 10th floor (not open to the general public normally) and saw a number of sets and props from "Sesame Park" in storage.
There's also a number of non-Muppet Canadian TV puppets on display including Uncle Chichimus, Rusty & Gerome (from Friendly Giant), The puppet cast of "Mr. Dressup" and items like the Mr. Dressup treehouse and tickle trunk and the Friendly Giant's castle.
I took as many pictures as I could and if you'd like to see them visit my Yahoo Briefcase and click on the "CBC Puppet Exhibit Folder". Most of the Muppet pics are up and I'll probably have the others there by sometime tomorrow.
If you live in the area or are coming to Toronto over the summer consider dropping by for a few minutes to have a peek. You can get more information on the CBC building and museum at http://www.cbc.ca.
