SAVE THE DATE: Celebrate Jim Henson's Birthday at MOMI 2026!

Save the dates of  Sep 24 — Sep 27, 2026 as MoMI will commemorate Jim Henson’s 90th birthday with four days of activities featuring special guests, screenings, puppetry workshops, a collectible swap meet, live music in the courtyard, and more!

That's right, this year instead of two full days of activities, the Museum of the Moving Image will host four straight days of Henson fun!

And of course while your there be sure to include a visit to The Jim Henson Exhibition, the Museum’s dynamic experience exploring Henson’s groundbreaking work for film and television and his transformative impact on culture, where the public can come face-to-face with 50 beloved characters from the worlds of The Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock and other productions released during Henson’s lifetime. 

Here's our look at last year's event:

More details will be announced soon and the full schedule will be posted on MOMI's Website.
