The touring exhibit presented by The Jim Henson Legacy and The Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service finished its tour with an extended run at the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York. Featuring original artwork, puppets, props, costumes, video and photography, the exhibit examined Jim Henson's creative process and his career, from his start in local television in 1955 through his feature film work in the 1980s.
Following the success of the Muppets, Music & Magic: Jim Henson's Legacy screening series in 2004, The Jim Henson Legacy and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) have again joined forces on a touring version of the program. Featuring rare screenings and special guest discussions, the program kicked off its current tour in early 2007 and has appeared in a number of venues around the country.
