Jim Henson Collection

In January 2005, The Jane Henson Foundation and The Jim Henson Legacy generously donated videos and funding to support the creation of what is now known as The Jim Henson Works at the University of Maryland. This collection makes available to UM’s community of students, scholars, and visitors over 70 digital videos spanning 35 years of Henson’s groundbreaking work in television and film. These full-length videos are available for viewing at public computer stations in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library, McKeldin Library, and Hornbake Library.

A gallery exhibition, Jim Henson: Performing Artist, explored Jim Henson's work as a performing artist. It was on display at the Michelle Smith Perforing Arts Library from September 2006 through June 30, 2007. This is not a touring exhibition and is now closed.
