Any Museums Dedicated to the Muppets?

When we lived in Mississippi a few months ago, we only lived 3 hours away from Leland. Leland is the town Jim was born in. I recomend it to all Jim fans!

here are some pictures from the trip!

Aah, Leland. As Gonzo says, "I'm going to go back there someday."

And as muppetperson said, the Center for the Puppetry Arts in Atlanta is wonderful. Of course, that's not on the west coast, but wouldn't you rather go to Georgia than California anyway?

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!

I would definitely recommend visiting! The Museum isn't built like a regular museum where there's exhibits to see and all. It's main feature is it's HUGE video library that you can watch while you're there. And there's a ton of rare Muppet TV appearances.

Just to avoid confusion, it's now called The Paley Center for Media, but it's still the same place.

New poster and lifelong Muppets fan and Atlantan here. Convenient with regard to my question:
Any Center for Puppetry Arts members out there? I have a birthday coming up, and I'm contemplating asking for a membership so I can get in on the growing Muppets stuff there ahead of the opening of the new facility (a long way off, I know) and the upcoming Muppet Movie singalong event. Anyone else going?
