The Vision of Jim Henson Gallery (Mall of America)

This is a gallery exhibit devoted to creator of Muppets, Jim Henson (1936-1990), that should appear on the third floor of the Mall of America as part of the EMS Exhibit Center. It can feature several characters on display including a full-size Big Bird puppet, televisions showing clips of Henson's various productions as well as footage from interviews and documentaries, examples of Muppet photography and artwork, a workshop replica with Digit, and a hands-on puppet stage that can allow visitors to try their hand at puppeteering, complete with television monitors and a soundtrack of Muppet music to encourage lip-synching.
