Today, Mayor Bloomberg joined the Museum of the Moving Image to announce that the Museum will be the permanent home for Jim Henson’s creations including 400 puppets, costumes and props- the Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and more!

“It’s only fitting that this extraordinary collection of puppets, costumes, props, and more should find a home in New York, where imagination and free expression are part of the fabric of our city, and where anyone who’s watched an episode of ‘Sesame Street’ sees the inspiration provided by the vibrant neighborhoods and characters that make our city so extraordinary.” - Mayor Bloomberg
