The Smithsonian Institution in Washington on Saturday unveiled its latest exhibit, "Jim Henson's Fantastic World," featuring 14 of Henson's famous Muppet creations, including many of those from Sesame Street, such as Bert and Ernie and Kermit the Frog. The exhibit, scheduled to remain at the Smithsonian until October, before traveling on a three-year tour to seven other cities, displays Henson's creative process. "We're showing how he went from drawing to a cartoon to a puppet to a moving image," project director Deborah Maconic told the Associated Press. Since the Muppet characters are subject to fading, they are being displayed under special lighting and are being treated as if they were historic treasures, placed behind glass enclosures. "We consider every single thing in here to be precious," Maconic said.

The world's favourite puppets, The Muppets, are making a return to the big screen.

The colourful characters, who were created by puppeteer Jim Henson's workshop, made their debut on U.S. TV show Sesame Street in 1969. They have starred in seven movies to date, the most recent being 1999's Muppets From Space.

Now actor/writer Jason Segal and director/writer Nick Stoller are penning a screenplay for a new film to be released by Disney.

Stoller is set to direct the currently-untitled project.
