Jim Henson Company

On La Brea in Los Angeles, not too many blocks south of Hollywood Blvd. Kermit is dressed as Charlie Chaplin because this studio complex was built by Charlie Chaplin in 1917. The Jim Henson Company acquired the lot after several other owners in 1999 according to its website. Kermit, of course, is no longer owned by Henson, having been sold to Disney along with the rest of the Muppets.
In 2026, Henson sold the Studio and Kermit as Charlie Chaplin was donated to the Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, GA. The museum already houses many pieces from Muppets history, as well as other Henson creations and tributes.
