The Exhibit is free and open Monday through Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm, except holidays. Special arrangements can be made for a docent  for a group tour by calling 734-429-0807.

Mr. Bixby's "Meredith Marionettes Touring Company" toured the Midwest and south for more than 40 years, performing in schools, theaters, and community centers. His handcrafted puppets have appeared in 20,000 performances.
