Description of Pictures: The Muppets Take American History
November 12, 2020 – Indefinitely
In this series of special pop-up displays, Muppets from the collection will be appearing in unexpected places in some of our best-loved exhibitions, inviting visitors to look at history through a fun new lens. Look for Fozzie Bear to debut within America on the Move and Boober from Fraggle Rock near the Food exhibition. Muppets and locations will change 2-3 times per year.

2021 photos: This year was filled with hope. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is still with us but maybe restoring sanity to the White House. the rapid vaccine role-out, and a government that finally cared would put things back to normal again. But the force was strong in the evil anti-vaxxer movement and the virus variants made quick use of that so we're still dealing with this crap. Plus the continued impact of the attempted coup... Sigh. Trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (mid-July) I made a quick trip up to Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, slightly up from 2020 but still really low.
