Star Trek & Worlds Beyond - Decorative Arts Center of Ohio

[SFC3]

If anyone's local to Ohio, USA, there's a pretty cool exhibit coming! It'll stick around for the summer too, with other events scheduled as well. All the events are listed here on their site: https://www.decartsohio.org/exhibitions.html

I'll round up all I've found on the exhibit so far, including this blurb:

The Decorative Arts Center of Ohio presents its newest exhibition: Star Trek & Worlds Beyond, running May 31st – August 31st!


Since its 1966 debut, Star Trek has become one of the most iconic franchises in television and film. Creator Gene Roddenberry envisioned a united Federation where diverse species work together to explore the universe, overcoming prejudice and promoting an optimistic, inclusive future.


Star Trek has inspired scientific advancements, from flip phones to video technology, while captivating audiences with its imaginative worlds. The franchise has expanded beyond the screen into toys, books, conventions and global exhibitions, making it a cultural phenomenon.


Now, the Paramount Archive invites you to experience Star Trek up close in a special exhibition that showcases nearly 150 unique props, costumes and images from this beloved universe. Among the artifacts featured in Star Trek & Worlds Beyond are phasers, communicators and insignia from the Kelvin timeline, a Vulcan tea set, Romulan insignia, Uhura’s earpiece, and Starfleet props and costumes from the various timelines. The Trumbull County Historical Society and Museum of Science Fiction & Fantasy Arts is also collaborating with DACO to include Star Trek props from the museum’s recently acquired collection of more than 500 props from various sci-fi movies and television shows thanks to a donation from Modern Props’ John Zabrucky


A dynamic lineup of programming will accompany this special exhibition, offering engaging talks, a Star Trek film viewing at the Drexel Theatre, and unique opportunities to explore the impact of Star Trek on science, technology and popular culture.


This exhibition is presented with support from the Fox Foundation, Inc. and the Wendel Family Fund of the Fairfield County Foundation

The Star Trek screening mentioned above is for the TMP Director's Edition, June 10 at 7pm: https://columbusunderground.com/eve...of-the-original-star-trek-the-motion-picture/

If anyone's attending, I'll be going to the (unfortunately now sold out) Curator Talk this Sunday, featuring "never-before-seen images from the Paramount Archive’s stills collection". But I should be there before and after the event as well. Looks to be a pretty solid event, with many of the teases being Kelvin Timeline props and costumes, there was even a model mock-up (?) of Krall's Base from Star Trek Beyond teased on the center's Instagram feed.
