The Muppet Room! Worlds largest Private collection of Muppets & Set Replica!
Jim Henson’s Muppets are iconic, legendary, and some of my favorite characters of all time. The Muppet Show was an absolute revolutionary show far ahead of its time. Often imitated, never duplicated, characters like Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie, and the gang were larger than life: they made outsider art appear in our living rooms. Puppetry reached new heights of comedy on a weekly basis thanks to the muppet show, and although often forgotten today, there’s a slew of weirdos who remember when these wacky puppets were kings of pop culture.
Welcome to the Muppet room! Andy Walmsley, set designer of American idol, who wants to be a millionaire, and so many other hit shows has designed a replica of the muppet show set inside his house to house the worlds largest collection of muppet replicas; everyone from Statler and Waldorf , Rolf the dog, Bunsen and Beaker, Camilla the hen, crazy Harry and the electric mayhem to a full size sweetums costume! Forget telling me the way to Sesame Street, tell me how to get to the Muppet room!
Get an unbelievable up close and personal tour of the muppet room in Las Vegas on its FINAL day in existence, and meet all your old favorite characters, and hear the absolutely crazy and inspiring story behind Andy’s muppet room!
Help keep the show alive!
