The most charming project I had the opportunity to be a part of has to be
the thirty year history of Sesame Street at Strong Museum in
Rochester, New York . Strong Museum is a children's hands-on museum;
youngsters have the chance to actually see themselves, via multiple video
cameras, on a representation of the Children's network Set.

Follow a timeline stretching through the exhibition to see important
milestones in the creation and development of "Sesame Street" from 1969 to
the present. Begin with a stop at the Metro Retro Shop, featuring some
of the music, fashions, and fads popular in 1969. Dozens of interactive
exhibits invite children to explore concepts about letters, words, numbers, and
issues of diversity. Interactive exhibits for adults explore why and how the
innovative program emerged and developed over the years into an
international educational phenomenon. Visitors literally step onto Sesame Street and
go hands-on with activities based on the world-famous television show.
The exhibit reproduces elements of the show's familiar set in an
engaging urban environment and leads visitors of all ages through three
adventurous decades of the revolutionary children's television series.
