Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Gunnersbury Park Museum is planning an exhibition, ‘Set to Stun’, celebrating Sci-Fi film and television design from the 1960s through to today, turning the camera onto the West London creatives who brought it all to life – and needs fans’ help to raise the necessary £15,000.

Visitors will enjoy an engaging and interactive showcase of the costumes, sets, work and imagination that goes into building their favourite Sci-Fi moments. For a century West London has been home to a hive of workshops that fed into some of the country’s most iconic Sci-Fi films and TV shows.

Assorted rewards are available including limited edition tote bags, signed books and a meeting with Marvin…
