This new sci-fi wing will have three levels of exhibit space and add more than 1,000 square feet of performance space to EMP.<\/p>\n<p>  Exhibits and artifacts celebrating such movies and television programs as &#8220;Star Trek,&#8221; &#8220;Planet of the Apes&#8221; and &#8220;Dr. Strangelove&#8221; will be complemented by objects or exhibits aimed at demonstrating how the literary genre sometimes leads to real scientific developments or technological achievements.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be very interested in checking it out, of course &#8212; my only worry is that I found the EMP to be fairly ridiculously overpriced, and I wasn&#8217;t a large fan of how the displays were set up (very little textual information, as there were PDA-ish handheld audio devices to guide you through, which were too heavy and kind of a pain to use). Hopefully the SFX doesn&#8217;t have these same issues, though as they are part of the same complex, who knows.<\/p>\n<p>Guess I&#8217;ll find out in June, huh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paul Allen&#8217;s new addition to the EMP, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, is due to open in approximately two months, according to the Seattle P-I.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2036,2028],"tags":[23,1425,140,4097],"class_list":["post-2397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-links","tag-film","tag-science-fiction","tag-seattle","tag-star-trek"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2397\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
