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
Painted metal and glass Courtesy of Sesame Workshop. © 2023 Sesame Workshop. All Rights Reserved.
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.
