“If Sesame Street was your primary baby-sitter back when you were a kid, and you considered Kermit and Miss Piggy some of your closest friends (cough, cough), then sure to check out Jim Henson's Fantastic World, a traveling, 130-plus piece exhibition of the famed puppeteer's original artwork. On display, find a mix of rough sketches and drawings, puppets, original storyboards, experimental video, and of course, tons of amazing photographs that document the rise of the Muppet franchise and give viewers an unparalleled glimpse inside of Henson's brilliant mind.”

Extended through March 4! Jim Henson, the internationally known creative figure whose work encompassed film, television, and puppetry, is the subject of a major exhibition. It features over 120 artifacts, including drawings, storyboards, props, puppets, and video material that illustrate Henson's boundless creativity and innumerable accomplishments. Alongside the show, the Museum will present screenings, talks, and workshops, many accompanied by personal appearances by members of Henson's family and close collaborators.
