Although donated last fall, it was only recently that the Jim Henson Foundation puppets went on display at the Smithsonian, in an exhibition called
Puppetry in America.
Included in the exhibit are many original, older versions of the muppets from Sesame Street (now in its 45th year on TV), the Muppet Show, and Fraggle Rock.
