Stormtroopers on guard

00z31446

This image of two Stormtroopers outside the front of the Museum was taken on the evening of the official opening of the exhibition Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination which runs until April 26th. We had a couple of photographers working during the week of the opening nights and took some photos of the amazing volunteers walking around the Museum dressed as characters from the films.

In this exhibition you can see over 80 costumes, models and full-scale replicas from all six films plus experiment with magnetic levitation devices, manipulate robots and engineer droids.
