Jim Henson’s Central Park Tribute. Photo by Estelle

This bench, installed in 1991, honors the life of Jim Henson, the mastermind behind The Muppets franchise (now owned by The Walt Disney Company).

TO THE JOYFUL LIFE OF JIM HENSON WHO LOVED THIS WALK IN THE PARK

Henson first moved to New York City in 1963 to work full-time on The Muppets and no doubt found inspiration from life in The Big Apple.
