Muppet Fact #1049
As part of the "This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture" exhibit in The Museum of the City of New York, a Sesame Street lamppost is on display.
The label reads as such:
[Lamppost from Sesame Street]
Sesame Workshop, 2015

An embodiment of the joy of city streets,
Sesame Street first aired in 1969. By design, it is both somewhere and nowhere in New York City: the street has characteristics of every borough and many neighborhoods. This sign would be equally at home in Harlem, Park Slope, Morris Heights, Kew Gardens, or St. George.
