A statue honoring Jim Henson hanging outside of the Television Academy building in North Hollywood.
On September 28, 2005 the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences dedicated a statue as a tribute to Jim Henson in their Hall of Fame Plaza. The statue dedication ceremony coincided with the first day of issue of the United States Postage Service's Jim Henson and Muppets Stamps.
The statue features Jim Henson surrounded by Big Bird, Kermit the Frog, Oscar the Grouch, Rowlf the Dog, Miss Piggy and Gonzo. It is hanging outside of the Television Academy building in North Hollywood.
The academy is the organization which awards the Emmys.
