The Muppets are history. American history. Officially. Forever and ever.
Some of the biggest and not-as-biggest names in Muppets, Sesame Street, and Fraggle Rock have been donated to the Smithsonian and will be on display at the American History Museum in Washington DC. From the universally recognizable JP Grosse to the incredible obscure Miss Piggy, they’re all ready for your viewing enjoyment.
Below, you’ll see a veritable ton of pictures as well as video of the entire press conference. First, here’s Miss Piggy with two other recognizable Smithsonian museum pieces: Dorothy’s ruby slippers and the actual Hope Diamond. As you can tell, Piggy likes shiny things.
Next up, some classy blank-background photos of the puppets themselves.
Here are some more puppets being prepped for display, along with Jim Henson Legacy Executive Director and Muppet designer Bonnie Erickson.
Finally, here’s the entire press conference! Happy watching!
