Jim Henson Exhibit with Sesame Street Characters Continue to Tour

A touring exhibit of the creations of Jim Henson is making its way through many museums throughout the country. Henson created some of our favorite Muppets, including many of those seen on Sesame Street. Although he has may be gone, his creative and imaginative characters live on.

Without “fences” to limit where his imagination could roam, Jim Henson (1936-1990)—artist, puppeteer, film director and producer—created elaborate imaginary worlds filled with unique characters, objects, environments and even languages and cultures. His work is enjoyed in dozens of languages in more than 100 countries. Jim Henson’s Fantastic World, a new exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and The Jim Henson Legacy, offers a rare peek into the imagination and creative genius of this multitalented innovator and creator of Kermit the Frog, Big Bird and other beloved characters.

The tour started in September 2007 at the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. Currently, the exhibit is at the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson, Mississippi. You can find it there until April when it moves on to National Heritage Museum in Lexington, MA. The exhibit stays for 10 weeks at each museum. Over the past few years the touring exhibit has been at several different museums throughout the country.

First Lady, Michelle Obama, Makes Her First Appearance on Sesame Street

Michelle Obama was on the set of Sesame Street in New York this week. She met Elmo, Big Bird and really enjoyed the visit. First Lady Obama was there to talk about healthy eating and nutrition, which Sesame Street has been talking about for a while. Even Cookie Monster has realized that cookies are a sometimes food. Childhood obesity can have disastrous effects on an individual. The message of healthy eating has been discussed many times, but it needs to be said over and over again until parents and children make changes in how they eat.

Father in search of Vintage Big Bird Chair

We recently received a comment from a Dad looking for a vintage Big Bird chair.  His daughter used the chair when she was a young child and now she is expecting a child of her own.  He would like to get the chair for his new grandchild.
