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

London’s Science Museum has partnered with Star Trek on a programme of activity to celebrate 60 years of the science fiction classic.

In a world-first, audiences can experience the entire cinematic legacy in one season, including Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond in full IMAX format – films have been digitised specifically for screenings in IMAX: The Ronson Theatre.

The programme of activity will launch on Thursday 26 March at a special Star Trek edition of the Science Museum’s free adults-only Lates.

A free trail spanning the museum will feature iconic objects from the franchise’s archives, curated by the Science Museum. Meanwhile, exclusive products created for the anniversary, including a limited-edition anniversary coin and apparel, will be available in a Star Trek takeover of the mezzanine level of the museum’s shop.

Dr Glyn Morgan, Head of Collections and Principal Curator at the Science Museum, said: ‘Star Trek has invited audiences to be curious explorers for decades – a mission we know something about at the Science Museum. Star Trek as a cultural phenomenon has played a real role in changing the world of STEM, from inspiring technical innovations to encouraging a generation of modern astronauts. I hope that this Star Trek at 60 programme at the Science Museum inspires visitors to consider what might be possible if you boldly go where no one has gone before.’
