Thought this could be of interest as there are a few Trek fans on the forum. A traveling exhibit that encompases a 50,000 sq foot space of Star Trek exhibits includes props, models, costumes and recreated sets of the original TOS bridge, the TNG Bridge, captain's quarters and other bits of TNG original sets and some full motion flight simulators into the world of Trek. Sounds like a pretty fun exhibit!
It starts January 2008 in Los Angeles and travels to 40 cities. The exhibit assembly of items were assisted by Trek production people including Herman Zimmerman, Dan Curry, Michael Westmore, and narration provided by Rod Roddenberry. And in certain Cities, William Shatner will make an appearance as Ambassador.

I recall seeing a story on one of the entertainment shows that a similar traveling exhibit tour is being done for CSI. This must be big business for the more popular TV show franchises. Star Trek seems a no brainer and of course must not hurt sales for DVD's and not doubt brings awareness to the casual fan for the new movie coming Christmas 2008.
