Star Wars Exhibition To Come To Brooklyn



BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.- Over 30 mannequins costumed as Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Princess Leia and the rest of the Star Wars gang will fill two floors of gallery space when "Star Wars: The Magic of Myth" comes to the Brooklyn Museum on April 5. From huge photomurals of the Death Star to original miniature models of young Anakin Skywalker's podracer from The Phantom Menace to scads of concept drawings and storyboards -- and even a life-size model of Jabba the Hutt on his palanquin -- the show features all the choice items from the Lucasfilm archives. Brooklyn is the final U.S. stop for the traveling exhibition, organized by SITES and premiering at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., where it drew over 1,000,000 visitors. The show has already been seen in San Diego, Minneapolis, Chicago, Houston and Toledo, Ohio; it next appears at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. Accompanying the installation in Brooklyn is "The Myth of the Hero and Heroine," a selection of approximately 25 objects from the collection organized by ancient art department head Richard Fazzini.
