Descrição:	Photograph by David Coleman. The Jim Henson Memorial at the University of Maryland in College Park stands as a tribute to one of the institution's most celebrated alumni and a titan of children's entertainment.

The sculpture, created by Jay Hall Carpenter, captures Henson's approachable nature and creative spirit, inviting passersby to sit and interact with the artwork.
