Mummy got the free tickets from Auntie Jessie. She got it from her friend, and all of our office colleagues also got the free tickets too. All of us are so happy got free tickets.
Star Trek Exhibition currently being held at the National Science Centre until March 31, 2013. Thus, Mummy just pay it a visit earlier as it will end till end of this month.
This world renown science fiction show will feature the largest collection of artefacts, costumes and information from the five television series and 11 feature films which have gone through four decades since the sixties.
This is also the first time that a Star Trek event is being held in Malaysia.
Highlights of the exhibition include the famous captain's chair from the USS Enterprise, actual costumes, an actual replica of the transporter and a seven-metre long model of the USS Enterprise spaceship which apparently is larger than the one on display at the Smithsonian in the USA.
Fans of TNG will be pleased to know that they can browse through copies of scripts used in the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series at the exhibition here.
Kuala Lumpur was the first Asian city to display the items after a successful run in Vancouver, Canada.
The last major Star Trek event was held in Singapore many years ago themed Star Trek World Tour and this was back in 1999.
That was over 13 years ago.
The visitors will have the ultimate privilege to explore into the world of Star Trek through the long history of the 45-year-old franchise that is displayed together with the largest collection of authentic Star Trek sets, props, character costumes, cultures, ships from all five Star Trek television series and almost a dozen Star Trek silver screen pieces, including the popular 2009 Star Trek movie that starred Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban and Zoe Saldana.
A total of 42 assorted costumes on display include: Klingon and Romulan TNG uniforms, 7 of 9 Bord jumpsuit, Ferengi clothing, EV suits from TNG, Reman soldier, Kai Opaka dress, General Chang's uniform, Garak's suit and Worf's uniform.
There is also an Alien Section with various head busts and video on make-up effects. Various props from TOS, such as the tricorder, and aliens, like Ferengi latinum are also on display here.
Because there is no photography allowed in here, they offer an in-house cameraman that takes your photos at strategic places.
You get three (3) photos taken at the TOS captain's chair, TNG bridge and Transporter Room. They are sold as a set for RM25 which comes with an exhibition folder and photo holder. This is available at the end of the exhibition.
There are also Star Trek merchandise being sold for the collectors. But I still managed to snap a few photos in the exhibition.
After the exhibition, we just re-visited the National Science Centre. Both Issac and Annabelle were trying all the fun sessions! As usual, the mechanical session and the curve aquarium are their favourites!
A nice outing for the day for all of us!
