The exhibit opens September 24th—what would have been Henson’s 74th birthday—with a celebration starting at 10:30 a.m. Whether you come for the opening event or anytime during the run of the exhibit, you’ll explore more than 130 original artworks created by Henson himself, including drawings, cartoons, storyboards, television and movie props, photographs of Henson and his collaborators at work, original video productions and experimental films from his early career. See your favorite puppets including Kermit the Frog, Rowlf and Bert and Ernie. As a special treat, Miss Piggy from Muppets Take Manhattan will make a special debut, added to the exhibit for the Chicago stop only! And kids will love to express their inventiveness through fun, hands-on activities like directing a puppet show and creating a character.
