"Muppets" exhibit[]
Has anyone ever heard of the Smithsonian's traveling exhibit "Muppets", staged at some point between 1979 and 1998? [1] -- Zanimum (talk) 19:25, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
Plaza Sesamo usage[]
In 2006, whenever a Kermit sketch was shown, this transition was used. It features an odd image of Kermit, which I think is the puppet held in the Smithsonian. Would anyone agree? - Oscarfan 21:03, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
Kermit puppet[]
Say, I have a question. Is one of those Kermit puppets displayed really from 1969? -- User:63.22.228.227 11 February 2007
- Oh, good question. From what I know, the Kermit they have is a Muppet Show-era puppet. Maybe 1979 instead of '69. Is there a source for that? -- Danny (talk) 14:07, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Smithsonian[]
I just realized we have this and also a Smithsonian Museum page. Is there some distinction, or should we combine the two? Andrew Leal (talk)
- Good question, I didn't realize that. Erik used to (or does) live in DC, I'll bet he'd know if they're the same or not. -- Scott (talk) 00:32, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- It also makes a difference in terms of accuracy. If the Museum is related but distinct, then the current text is inaccurate. Actually, I'm a little unsure of whether the "Muppets and Mechanisms" artifacts will reflect long term holdings or have just been loaned out. Andrew Leal (talk) 00:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- Then I'll go ahead and reword later on. Currently, the phrasing suggests that they're permanent and kept along with the Sesame Street sets and so on. Andrew Leal (talk) 00:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
- There is no such thing as the Smithsonian Museum. The Muppet exhibit is at the National Museum of American History, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution (which includes a number of museums, galleries, and the National Zoo). So the information on Smithsonian Museum should be added to this page. In fact, I'll go do that now. -- Erik (talk) 19:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
