"It Belongs in A Museum!"

[Samurai8472]

Of which there are many, but not enough apparently to tempt TPTB to open a museum.

Themed restaurant?

The Spock special?

Kirk hair pasta?

A Vulcan themed spa would be... fascinating.

The funny thing is that I used to manage a movie theater at a mall in South Ft Worth, Texas. Just North of the interchange of Interstates 35W and 20. Just South of us was a old General Services Administration warehouse facility with over a dozen buildings like this each over a quarter mile long. I figured they all looked like this on the inside. God only knows what they kept there.

Maybe there's some extraterrestrial artifacts?

I wonder what that would be like.

Vulcan neuropressure sessions with happy ending? Purely for research purposes of course.

Try as I may, I can't associate the word "happy" with Vulcans.

It would seem that I was wrong.

Remember what Kirk said in "Mirror, Mirror", "in every revolution, there's one man with a vision." It could just as well apply to the matter of a Star Trek museum. Maybe you are the one with the vision, a plan, the determination, and the resources (or you know people with deep pockets) to turn the idea of museum into reality.

It's all in the fingers. Vulcans can work magic with their pon farr fingers. Happy returns.

I remember when Spock were under the influence of the pollen and when Tuvok was freed from the need to being logical all the time, they both said that they were happier than ever before. Being Vulcan is definitely not about being happy, it's about something else something that for a human being would be associated with an anhedonic depression.

The Smithsonian has the Enterprise on permanent display. I think that is awesome in itself.

I just watched the Auction Documentary last night, I think they said they had 1000 lots. Which begs the question, what happened to all the other trek stuff stored in the warehouse that they didn't think was cool enough for a high profile auction? Did it all get tossed?

It was a *raises eyebrow* pleasurable experience.

 

[Captain Rob]

Pleasure is an Human emotion.
However; it was...'interesting'. (raises eyebrow)

I don't think pleasure is an emotion. It's a physical sensation, like pain. A Vulcanian could say, "It was a painful experience." and not be accused of expression emotion. Same with pleasure.

There were a series of weekly auctions over the next 2+ years - official auctions - from "Its a Wrap" in Burbank.

Many of the props and costumes, as well as some set pieces from the bridge recreations, from Star Trek: The Experience and other sources will be on display when this project gets some capital behind it. http://hollywoodscifi.org/

Aren't they the ones that raised loads of money from fans and only ever had re-upholstered Next Gen chairs to show for it?

I know what else belongs in a museum this necro thread from 2016.

They did that (sort of) with The Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas. In addition to two Star Trek themed rides/experiences, they had Quark's Bar, and shopping along the DS9 promenade. They also had a long entryway corridor where the Star Trek timeline was one side, and props and costumes were on the other. They had all kinds of cool stuff: phasers, tricorders, uniforms. My favorite was the giant champagne bottle that christened the Enterprise in the opening sequence of Generations.

Anyway, it was a great place. We went 5 times during it's run. But it proved everyone else's point. It was not financially viable in the long run, even in a city like Vegas which constantly turns over it's population.

So the best or least bad place for a hypothetical Star Trek museum would be a city with a population many times that of Las Vegas and many times the annual tourist visits as Las Vegas. And such a city should be the setting of any science fiction story ("Murder in the Star Trek Museum"? "The Mystery of the Lost Romulan Warbird Model"?) set in a hypothetical Star Trek museum.

A museum would have trouble surviving if it was just about Trek, but as an exhibit at a pop culture museum it could do fantastic.

Also I think a scifi themed hotel right outside a major theme park or something could attract a lot of people.

You are overreacting. There are too manyprops. Nobody would visit a museum dedicated to Trek. Same goes for star wars really. At least as consistently as our museums in dc or the Lovure in Paris

Isn't that basically what a Scifi Convention is?
