Science Fiction Museum

The Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame bills itself as the world's premier science fiction museum (despite the fact that it opened almost 30 years after Maison d'Ailleurs, a museum of science fiction and utopia in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland). The museum is located inside architect Frank Gehry's landmark Experience Music Project building at the base of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was founded by Paul Allen and Jody Patton and opened to the public on June 18, 2004. Members of the museum's advisory board include Steven Spielberg, Ray Bradbury, James Cameron, George Lucas, and Arthur C. Clarke. Among its collection of artifacts are Captain Kirk's command chair from Star Trek, the B9 robot from Lost in Space, and the dome from the film Silent Running. The X Prize trophy is currently on display in the museum's lobby.

The museum is divided into several galleries with a common theme such as "Homeworld," "Fantastic Voyages," "Brave New Worlds" and "Them!". Each gallery displays related memorabilia (movie props, first editions, costumes and models) in large display cases, posters, and interactive displays to sketch out the different subjects.
