Yet another explanation of why I love/idolize Jim Henson: What do you hope people learn about the puppets from their display here?---I hope they learn more about Jim Henson, actually. He was brilliant. He created worlds and invited people to enter them. He was persistent: there were many times that ideas he had did not succeed, but they would survive to live again later. He tried for many years to do a puppet show on television in the U.S. like The Muppet Show, but it took three tries to be successful. I hope that kind of persistence and belief in himself is something that translates to everyone who has learns about his life and his work. blog.americanhistory.si.edu/osaycanyousee/2014/03/recently-a-new-group-of-puppets-went-on-view-in-ourpuppetry-in-americadisplay-intern-peter-olson-interviewed-bonnie-erickso.html
