Muppet Merch at The University of Maryland!

The University of Maryland is celebrating their most famous alumni, Jim Henson.


Not only do they already have a statue of Jim and Kermit and now they've unveiled a new line of exclusive merchandise to coincide with their new puppetry exhibit.


There's a long sleeve "Maryland" shirt featuring Fozzie, Gonzo, and Kermit, 


a University of Maryland shirt featuring Kermit,


and a "Wild About Maryland" shirt featuring Animal.  



The shirts are also available online.

The Art & Craft of Puppetry Exhibit  "explores how puppets have captured our imagination by examining specific puppets, universal characteristics, international aesthetics, and local puppet companies. It also asks a playfully provocative question: What makes a puppet? The diversity of puppet styles and techniques displayed provides the opportunity for visitors to think more broadly about an art form that transcends cultural boundaries, while also demonstrating how puppets work.

Six puppets, including a character from the original Fraggle Rock series on loan from The Jim Henson Company and others on loan from the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, will be on view."


The University of Maryland 's The Art & Craft of Puppetry Exhibit is open to the public until July 29, 2022.

Thanks to Philip Jeremy Moyer for the info.
