Thanx!

Dont think there is much on the West Coast, even though that is where their offices are.
There is more on the East Coast with the Smithonian in Washington, And the birth place of the frog in Leyland, Missippi.But you should really make the trip to Center For Puppetry Arts, in Atlanta Georgia, as that is the best museum for muppet displays.

There's the Paley Center for Media (formerly The Museum of TV and Radio) in Los Angeles, it has a ton of Muppet appearances on TV through the years.

Going to NYC...Museum of tv and radio

We are going to New York City in October and I was wondering if it was worth it to visit the Museum of Television and Radio - is there a lot of Henson stuff there? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated - Thanks in advance!:big_grin:

I am not sure, but it would still be worth a trip there plus Washington isnt to far away to visit the Smithonian.
