Welcome to Middleof!
Go down the rabbit hole and immerse yourself in a realm of whimsy and wonder!
Meet magical creatures face-to-face in an immersive art gallery that transports you into

As you wander through a 5000 sq ft multisensory landscape, prepare to interact with larger-than-life mythical beings that come alive through touch, movement, artwork and light.
Operated by The Puppetry Institute, a local non-profit dedicated to the arts,
Middleof not only promises a feast for the senses but also supports young artists through its scholarship program. A third of the installation’s profits will fund these initiatives, fostering creativity and providing employment opportunities for Bay Area actors and artists.
