Before Bluey, before B1 and B2, even before Play School, there was Mr Squiggle.
The puppet man from the moon with a pencil for a nose was a fixture of kids television on the ABC for 40 years from 1959 and 1999 .
And now Mr Squiggle is back - not on television, but in a new free exhibition at the National Museum of Australia.
