“As children, we all live in a world of imagination, of fantasy, and for some of us that world of make-believe continues into adulthood.” - Jim Henson (2007). “Wisdom from It's Not Easy Being Green: And Other Things to Consider," p.49, Peter Pauper Press, Inc.

From the moment the team at the Maryland Center for History and Culture (MCHC) decided to tackle the enormous feat of bringing "The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited" to Maryland, our staff, our community, and our partners have chosen to dream. This exhibition is a continuation of our evolution, creating the opportunity for us to host this festival – one of the largest events in our history. We can't wait to see these next months unfold alongside our unbelievable community.

As our President & CEO Katie Caljean put it, "Everyone had a role in today's launch from logistics and programming, to the installation and design, to marketing and fundraising. Thank you, everyone -- it takes a village." Thank you First Lady Dawn Moore for joining us at this celebratory and historic occasion!

Enjoy this collection of photos from the festival. We can't get over all of the smiling faces on campus.
