Just wanted to share that I FINALLY made it to the museum in Mason City, Iowa where the Bil Baird collection of marionettes is housed. It has the largest collection of his puppets in the world. He was born in Mason City, which is why they are there. WELL worth the time to stop in if any of you are ever in this neck of the woods! I thought I'd share a couple pictures too.

I have to get out more! Thanks for sharing LJ those are Great!

They are wonderful. I am planning on a trip here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCbeck_Museum_of_Theatre_Puppets
