Battlestar Galactica the Exhibition at the EMP in Seattle 2012

Taking a break from the 2012 Modern Languages Association Conference, Y and I went sightseeing in Seattle. One of our stops was the Experience Music Project/Museum of Science Fiction (now, the Museum of Pop Culture) to see the Battlestar Galactica and Avatar exhibits. In this post, I’ll share some photos from the BSG exhibit. I’ll share photos from the Avatar exhibit in a post next week.

I’m a fan of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, and I wrote my MA thesis at the University of Liverpool on it, in which I explored Cold War and Post-Cold War identities in the original series and the re-imagined series.

The BSG exhibition was impressive to walk through. Much like the Star Wars Exhibition that I visited in London in 2007, and Star Wars and the Power of Costume Exhibition in New York City in 2016 (which reminds me that I need to post those photos), it was exciting to be next to the vehicles and see the costumes up-close.
