Those who pledge $200 or more can receive one-of-a-kind collector’s items and can sponsor the restoration of a puppet. In addition, MoMI will host monthly screenings of Henson’s work and family programming to introduce people to his work. A traveling version of the exhibition will begin on May 20th at Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture and introduce audiences around the country to his puppets and films.
