I managed to have a couple of days off from looking after my mum when Star Trek: The Adventure came to London.
Star Trek: The Adventure was a traveling museum exhibit that showcased over $30 million worth of Star Trek memorabilia, props, models, costumes and set mock-ups, including the USS Enterprise bridge and the Enterprise NX-01 armory.
The exhibition opened in Hyde Park, London on 18 December 2002, to coincide with the British premiere of Star Trek Nemesis. The attraction hosted the after-show party, attended by the cast. The exhibition closed in April 2003, having received over 100,000 visitors. It was then moved to Singapore.
I went once with my dad (who was living in Brixton and I hadn’t seen for a while) and the second time with my brother and future sister-in-law.
I really enjoyed it and liked seeing all the props etc. but was disappointed at the fact that you couldn’t take pictures.
I remember going to Star Trek: The Adventure back in 2003 and thought it was wonderfully put together. There were many signs saying that photography was prohibited, but no one took any notice of them. I managed to get some fairly decent shots, even though they were on an old 35mm camera.
I got two photos of the NX-01 armoury before I got stopped. Are yours online anywhere? Would love to see…
Here is a link to the Album. As the photos were taken on an old 35mm camera, some of the images aren’t great, plus some were scanned from the originals to get them into one album. Enjoy.
