Detroit Institute of Arts

Detroit Institute of Arts is the second largest municipally-owned museum in the United States, and listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Michigan, it opened a permanent gallery of puppetry in December 2010.
A Kermit the Frog puppet, listed in materials as being from 1969, was donated to the museum in 1971. The puppet has been displayed on and off over the years, and figured prominently into the promotional material for "Punch's Progress", an exhibit from November 19 to December 31, 2000.
A 2008 event, "Muppet Fairytales", screened The Frog Prince (1971) and The Elves and the Shoemaker (1994).
