Jim Henson – Life and Legacy

Jim Henson – Life and Legacy is an exhibit soon to open at the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City, OK in September 2018. The exhibit focuses on Jim Henson's life, work, and legacy, with a special emphasis on banjo work in various Muppet productions, coinciding with Henson's induction into the American Banjo Museum Hall of Fame. The exhibit was curated by Karen Falk of The Jim Henson Company, and appears, in part, by a grant from The Jane Henson Foundation. The exhibit is scheduled to open on September 8th, 2018, with Heather Henson in attendance. It is scheduled to run through August 2019.
