Traveling Muppet Museum

What puppets do you remember seeing?

Also, I went to the Vision of Jim Henson exhibit in Pittsburgh some years ago. It was GREAT! I LOVED seeing puppets of Mahna Mahna, Prairie Dawn, and some Anything Muppets, to name just a few.

I remember seeing Miss Piggy, Kermit, Gonzo, and Fozzy Bear.
I still have my Poster I received from there boxed up some place. I need to frame it.

Oh man, I've been trying for about 5 years to get a copy of the book that went along with the exhibit.

Going to the exhibit is my first real memory. It was one of the coolest exhibits ever to come to New Orleans. My parents tell me it was my third birthday. I don't know about that. All I remember is the rain, cold, and all of those glorious, glorious Muppets. Almost everyone you can think of was there. It was awesome.

Here's hoping the exhibit swings south again sometime.

I'm glad you liked it!
I was wonderin' if you could touch the fabrics and stuff in the "touch wall" they had there and if you took pictures unless, that is, they allowed you to.

Much to my future regret, my parents did not take any pictures. Don't know if it was because it wasn't allowed or what. Not much help on the fabric wall either, at three I was more interested in the visuals.

I've thought about going to the museum and seeing if they have an archive or something that might have pictures. I don't know.

Fozzie Bear: thanks for the welcome. I've been haunting the forums for years, just never had anything to say until now.

Can you remember any of the Muppets you remember seeing at the exhibit?
I only know of:

Kermit in his director's chair

The Electric Mayhem
Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street Gang
The early Kermit and the Sam and Friends cast
The SNL Muppets
Emmet and Ma Otter in a rowboat
The Riverbottom Gang
Sweetums and Robin
The African Masks
Plus cutouts of Jim, Frank, and Jerry holding up actual puppets of the "Pigs in Space" regulars

THANKS!
