Beloved, eerie and unforgettable characters, from Pinocchio and E.T. to the wild imagination of Jim Henson’s workshop, have shaped how we experience movies. These iconic hand-crafted creatures spark wonder, joy, nostalgia, fear and fascination.
Explore the craft, performance and invention that bring unforgettable screen characters to life, from ingenious handmade mechanisms and animatronics to contemporary digital wizardry.
Explore original puppets, concept art and behind-the-scenes materials from iconic films including Pinocchio, Anomalisa, Jurassic Park, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, plus Australian TV classics. Get up close to rarely seen sketches and uncover the craft and creative ingenuity behind some of cinema's most memorable puppets and creatures.
Joyful, surprising and deeply human, Lifelike invites you to rediscover the wonder of puppets and why you can’t help believing they’re alive.
