Fans in both the United States and Europe are in for a treat with two exciting Star Wars museum exhibits opening in February 2008.

Could cars that hover above ground be the mass transit of the future? Will we ever have droids like C-3PO in real life? Fantasy and reality join forces in Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination, Feb. 9 - May 4, 2008 at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Penn.

This exhibition showcases costumes and props from all six Star Wars films while exploring cutting-edge research and modern technologies that could one day make the fantasy world of Star Wars a reality.

Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination invites visitors into a unique, immersive exhibit environment where they will be absorbed in hands-on experiences to discover how robots and landspeeders exist in the world of Star Wars, and learn about the important roles that imagination and science play in the creation of increasingly sophisticated machines. In two large Engineering Design labs, visitors get to use the knowledge gained in the exhibit to create and test their own speeders and robots.

In Europe, fans can attend Star Wars: The Exhibition at Brussels, Belgium opening Feb. 16. The exhibition presents original film props, models, art, vehicles and costumes from the entire Star Wars saga, showcasing the artistry and storytelling that have made the films some of the most popular in history.
