Hensen Framed Card
Congratulations Talitha Luben! You are the winner of this attractive framed postcard that was produced to promote Jim Hensen's Fantastic World, a Smithsonian Institution traveling exhibition, on exhibit April 3 - June 27 at the National Heritage Museum, Lexington, MA.
I was in London visiting and went to St. Paul's Cathedral and was surprised to find that day was a memorial service and tribute to Jim Henson shortly after he died. They had Muppets on display all over the chapel. My wife, who was a ventriloquist, was delighted to see the celebs and all of the displayed Muppets. I have photos somewhere. He certainly added a new dimension and even a new word description to the art. I believe Muppet is attributed to him. Wes
