“Star Trek: The Exhibition,” a museum-style experience at the Mall of America, showcases one of the largest collections of Star Trek artifacts publicly on display.

At the exhibit, there are props, pieces of the sets and a replica of the captain’s chair, among other pieces of Star Trek history. These props and costumes have been donated by CBS, and many of them were used in the shows and movies.

Visitors are also able to take a picture in front of the Star Trek logo or sitting on the bridge of the Enterprise.

Megan Losure, the exhibits supervisor at the mall, said that attendance was very high in the beginning but is now slowing down.

“Attendance has lowered now that school is back in session, but we do continue to have many individuals go through each day,” Losure said.

Losure also said she has seen a favorable response to the exhibit throughout the summer among the Star Trek fan community.

“I can tell that there are a lot of ‘super fans’ of Star Trek out there,” Losure said. “I have several staff members who are big fans as well.”

Junior Meg Harrington hasn’t been, but said it sounds like an interesting place even though she doesn’t know much about Star Trek.

“I know nothing about it, I’ve never seen the movies,” Harrington said. “[But] it sounds good, maybe if I saw the movies and then [went].”

Losure also said it has been a good experience for her to see people so clearly enjoying the exhibition.

“The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” Losure said.

The exhibition opened on May 10 and is reported to be staying six months. Tickets are $17.
