Oh, and in case you missed the SUBTLE HINTS there to go see Jim Henson's philosophical allegory "The Cube"...

@zebratron2084 Wow. I lived near Atlanta for over 24 combined years of my live and -never knew- there was a puppetry museum, though I did frequent the Fernbank Museum of Natural History and the High Museum of Art pretty often. Every single time I hear 'the South has no culture' from well-meaning west-coast dolts, I think about how we have so MUCH OF IT you can miss half looking for the rest...

@zebratron2084 (Not to mention the recent phenomenon of Atlanta architecture being distinctive and old-world enough that it is now regularly used to 'double' for London in modern filmmaking. I remember laughing my ass off during Black Panther when they showed the 'History Museum of Britain' or whatever and I IMMEDIATELY pegged it as the High from the wide-angle shot.)

Re "I don't know what this is but I like it": Cyclia was an idea for a psychedelic multimedia nightclub environment that occupied Henson for much of the '60s but ultimately went unrealized. (Described on pages 46-48 of Jim Henson: The Works)

And do read that yellow paper, it's rather Cube-like actually
