Jim Henson's Fantastic World is coming to the Museum of Moving Image next month. From July 16th through January 16th, 2012 you'll be able to immerse yourself in his world through puppets, drawings, animations, storyboards, props, screenings, performances, notes, and all sorts of Henson artifacts... 120 artifacts, to be exact. "Among the highlights are fifteen iconic original puppets of such characters as Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Bert, and Ernie." If you can't make it to Sesame Street, this is the next best place.
