You can see information about the Exhibit here: http://www.smm.org/starwars/

I live about 20 minuets away from the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. I was thinking of going, but then I thought, I really don't care anymore. As a kid I loved Star Wars, through my teenage years I continued to, but recently I really don't care about the franchise any way anymore. It's not even about the orginal versions, I just feel indifferent about the franchise. As a kid I always wanted to go to star wars exibits that I heard about going on around the country, but I never did, so finally there is another star wars exibit going on in my area, but it's too late. I almost feel obligated to go just incase I regret not going after it's gone. I was thinking of bringing my digital camera along and posting videos and photos of it on a website. To any of you who have gone to the exibit or know more websites or information about it, post it here, I would like to know.

Where Science meets Imagination is an awesome exhibit.I would love the opportunity to see it myself but it never comes anywhere near Northern Ireland.I know lots of people who have gone and have seen loads of pics.Very worthwhile.As an original prop collector it is kind of like my idea of heaven!Highly recommended.

Definitely go. I went to the Boston one, and it was really cool. Seeing all the props, costumes, and models was awesome. I mean, they had Yoda! :D What more could you ask?

My girlfriend recently expressed a desire to go to the Science Museam and it would be fun to see this. I don't live that far away. Depends upon how busy I am and if I remember.

I wish that exhibit would come to Atlanta. It would be worth going just to see the original Landspeeder and Yoda. I didn't get to see the Magic of Myth exhibit either.

I remember going to Magic of Myth WAY the hell back in '97 (the Fall, I think) at the Air & Space museum. I've lived in Northern VA my whole life so it's just a hop away. The best part is that it was free (yay DC!). Still have my ticket stub actually. Still remember the Struzan art from the SE posters blown up onto a big wall with a 20th anniversary logo of some sort.

I caught Where Science Meets Imagination with a couple friends back in March when it was still at the Franklin Institute in Philly. I go to school in Northern DE, so once again my location was fortunate.

The coolest part of the exhibit for me was seeing the Devastator and Tantive IV models. Since my knowledge of all things Star Wars has increased vastly over the last ten years, it was cool to see that and go "wow, the Tantive IV model really is bigger than the Devastator!"
