The Franklin in Philadelphia says a traveling interactive exhibition showcasing the "Star Trek" legacy will stop at the museum next month.
Tickets for the show, which opens May 16 and will stay at the facility through Sept. 20, are to go on sale Friday.
The engagement at the Franklin's Mandell Center marks the exhibition's East Coast debut.
The 12,500-square-foot exhibition "enables visitors to connect with iconic 'Star Trek' moments and characters while celebrating the creative spirit of science fiction that gave rise to many of today's modern marvels," The Franklin said in a news release.
"Star Trek: The Exhibition" features a collection of authentic "Star Trek" ships, costumes and props from the popular TV shows and movies.
"'Star Trek' is undoubtedly one of science fiction's most celebrated creations," Dr. Dennis Wint, president and chief executive officer of The Franklin, said in a statement. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase the imagination, artistry and craftsmanship of the franchise here at The Franklin."
A new "Star Trek" movie is set for release in U.S. theaters May 8.
