The city where the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were conceived has largely been overlooked during the crime-fighting quartet's meteoric riseJohn Cookson, operations manager at the Woodman Museum, shows first edition Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures, which are part of the museum's permanent collection, Thursday, Sept. 5, 2024, in Dover, N.H. As the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles grew to become a pop culture sensation, the place where they were conceived rarely got mentioned.
The Turtles' exhibit opened last month at the Woodman Museum, which houses an eclectic collection that includes a stuffed polar bear and a Victorian funeral exhibit replete with a horse-drawn hearse. “We loved our characters. We loved what we did. We told the best story we could. We hoped for the best,” he continued. “But I also could never have imagined that one comic book would lead to any of this.”
Among the exhibit's highlights are a video game console where visitors can play Turtles arcade games, vinyl records of soundtracks from Turtles movies and signed, first-run Turtles comics, including some valued in the tens of thousands of dollars. The marketing power of the Turtles is also on display, with everything from Turtles-inspired Christmas ornaments, throw rugs and backpacks to a talking toothbrush.
