Science Fiction Museum And Hall Of Fame

I love Jim Henson, and seeing Kermit, operating a muppet in a music video, and putting designs into the muppet fur walls was awesome. So cool to see early commercials and artifacts from not only sesame street but the dark crystal, fraggle rock, etc was awesome.

The regular exhibit is also fun, with memorabilia from film and tv, like a hover board from back to the future, guns from everything from blade runner to men in black, and even the original death star. There are also a lot of book copies from some of my favorite sci fi, and some I hope to read in the future. oddly, there aren’t novels for sale in the gift shop. But they did have bobble head ewoks and alien finger puppets.

If you’re not going to go to the EMP (which is in the same building) then don’t bother with the SciFi museum. The total floor space devoted to SciFi is trivial compared to the amazing exhibits in the music project, and the displays leave a lot to be desired. I’ve been a devoted fan of science fiction since I was a small boy, but this museum was absolutely not worth the time I spent here.

I really enjoyed the museum. It was interesting and I learned a lot about the history of Science Fiction. There were many displays and props etc. from past movies and television shows. It was interesting to see old movie posters and robot replicas from the past 60 years. If you are not interested in Science Fiction, the museum will not change your mind. But if you have an interest or are a hard core science fiction geek, the musuem is a must see.

Because my bebe wants to go and I’ve never been.

And it took me 2 hours to absorb all the collection they have put together…..WOW….
