A great reason to get to New York before March - the Jim Henson’s Fantastic World exhibition.

Jim Henson’s characters provided an outlet for the various sides of his sense of humor and personality, and Henson always considered Kermit the Frog his alter ego.Credits: John E. Barrett, courtesy of The Jim Henson Company. Kermit the Frog (c)The Muppets Studio, LLC.

Rowlf the Dog became everyone’s favorite piano player on The Muppet Show. Many of Jim’s Muppet characters, including Rowlf, got their start in ads produced by Jim in the 1960s. Credit: Photo by John E. Barrett. (c) The Muppets Studio, LLC.
Jim Henson believed that television and film could be used in a positive way to shape the thoughts of children and adults. He populated the neighborhood of Sesame Street with characters such as Bert and Ernie. Credit: Photo by John E. Barrett. TM & © 2007 SesameWorkshop. All Rights Reserved.
Henson created his award-winning television series, Fraggle Rock, to help promote understanding and tolerance. The wise minstrel Cantus (performed by Jim) made occasional appearances to offer words of advice and song. Gobo is on the right. Credit: Photo by John E. Barrett. (c) The Jim Henson Company.
