inner child guidance - Sesame Street

Since it's a national holiday today in Germany, my spouse and I decided to visit the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (museum for art and industry) in Hamburg, Germany. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the German version of Sesame Street, they have an exhibition running until January 2024. A real German version of the show started in 1978 with our own street as the framework for the other parts of the show, even with unique Muppets or version of the American originals.

I wasn't even there for the knowledge of how the show works or how the puppeteers make the characters come to life, because I already know that, but since I grew up in the 90s as the child of a single parent, the television was a very important part of my upbringing and education. So besides cartoons, Sesame Street was there in the early mornings when I needed to be distracted, so my parent could get stuff done, and we all know that's now the best approach, but there weren't any good alternatives. But so Sesame Street with all its lovely and goofy characters taught me lessons about sharing, colors, nature, numbers and being a part of a community. To be honest, a community I wasn't really a part of in real life, but at least I had my first fictional one.

The exhibition is lovely, made with a lot of care and very interactive, and it's great to see 3 to 4 generations enjoying all of this together and my inner child was happy and nostalgic even.

But since right now, thanks to the new show Muppet Mayhem, I watched a lot of Muppet media and documentaries about it and I have a question. Why isn't there an educational Muppet based show for adults? Like seriously. Jim Henson's problem after the launch of Sesame Street was getting any network to pick up a Muppet based late night show, because they all thought Muppets are for children, despite him having done adult content with puppets before Sesame Street, and with The Muppet Show and everything afterward he proved that it was possible.

Me, and a lot of other millennials, love a good, modern children's show like Bluey, where we get the comfort of stable families and the nostalgia of children's educational television, but I'm also a big fan of people like Hank Green or Adam Conover, who explain current affairs, science and culture in a very easy to understand way without keeping any information out or simplifying things too much. So why can't The Muppets do that?

I think the three latest Muppet based TV Shows (Muppet Mayhem, Muppets Now and The Muppets) all had an adult audience in mind and talk about adult problems like workspace, ambition, dreams, relationships and finding yourself. Let's be honest, if any executive decided to fund some proper advertising all of them even would be a huge success, because The Muppets don't even feel nostalgic, because they were never really gone. I mean, Kermit the Frog even gave a TED Talk about creativity 8 years ago, and it was one of the most inspiring things I've seen in recent years.

Dear Disney people, this is my pitch. A Muppet show where every episode has one overarching theme like voting, building relationships, living alone, mental health etc. where The Muppets and Humans, deal with all those things and teach the audience how to be better. I mean, if you wouldn't be such cowards, you could even talk about politics, fighting for the right things or, Mickey forbids, queerness. But let's start small, shall we?

DEUTSCHES DESIGN 1949–1989. zwei Länder, eine Geschichte: Wien bis 14.01.2024

Das deutsche Design erlangte in den 1920er Jahren dank der Bauhausschule und des Werkbundes große Bedeutung. Nach der Teilung Deutschlands im Jahr 1949 gingen Design und Alltagskultur jedoch auf beiden Seiten der Grenze getrennte Wege. Im Westen spielte das Design eine wichtige Rolle im Wirtschaftswunder, während es im Osten in die sozialistische Planwirtschaft integriert wurde. Die Ausstellung…

Madame d’Ora (Dora Kallmus), Entertainer Josephine Baker, 1928.

Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg. "I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad. And when I get mad, you know that I open my big mouth. And then look out, 'cause when Josephine opens her mouth, they hear it all over the world ..." – Josephine Baker

The Mummy Wreck

This is what you might call the wreck of the Gottfried when it sank on 12 March 1822 with ancient Egyptian artefacts between Cuxhaven and the west of the island of Trischen near the mouth of the river Eider.

The Gottfried was a Danish-flagged galleass launched in 1815. She was about 20m long and had two masts. Her captain was Heinrich Jacob Riesbeck and with him sailed a crew of 8. At the time of her sinking, she was carrying 97 boxes of Egyptian art treasures, which the Prussian nobleman Baron Heinrich Menu von Minutoli had acquired in Egypt for King Frederick William III in order to lay the foundations for Prussia's own Egyptian collection. Minutoli had spared nothing in his purchases. He had acquired mummies, animal mummies, altars, vessels, figures of gods, a door frame and papyri. Mehmed Ali Pasha, governor of the Ottoman province of Egypt, had even added an Arabian marquee as a gift to the baron. In addition, there was the top of a pyramid and a sarcophagus of red granite weighing several tons. 

The loss of the Gottfried, by unknown (x)

But now the Gottfried was caught in a hurricane and the heavy cargo seemed to have been her undoing, for it smashed through the hull and sank the ship. All those present had no chance to save themselves and went down with the valuables. At first no one knew that the Gottfried had sunk, but when the first mummies were gradually washed up on the beach, they knew that something had happened. And immediately, dike count Georg Wilhelm Schmeelke, mayor in the service of the Duke of Bremen and Verden, began to note down what the sea washed up on the left bank of the Elbe between Cuxhaven and Balje in the coming days: an ostrich egg, rams' horns, mummified fish, corals and two boxes with various books, letters, maps and diaries. The ceremonial tent also made it to the Elbe beach completely torn to pieces - as did seven sarcophagi with their mummies. The discovery caused great horror, as the plague was raging in Egypt at the time. The dead were hastily buried in the sand on the shore.

The gilded head of a male mummy (x)

But the ship had been insured and now owed Minutoli 27,000 marks, and in order to compensate for this high loss to some extent, everything that had been washed up on the beach was gathered together and even the dead had to be dug up again. These finds were then auctioned off. Much to the delight of Hamburg's merchants, because now they too could hold their own mummy parties and not have to look enviously to London. In the course of time, a few pieces came to various museums, including the gilded head of a male mummy. In 2003, a small box with a linen bandage and a mummy's curl was added, which had been in a magazine in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe in Hamburg.

The rest is still missing, as is the wreck of the Gottfried. It has probably long since disappeared, but the sarcophagus and the pyramid top are probably still there.
