I recently visited the Indiana Jones and the Adventure of Archaeology exhibition at The Discovery Science Center, located in Santa Ana, California and had a great time. The exhibition is presented by The National Geographic Society and it features of over 7,000 square feet of original props, costumes, consept art, set designs, and artifacts from the Indiana Jones film series. The items are on loan from the Lucasfilm Archives. The exhibit also includes real archeological artifacts from the collections of the Penn Museum and the National Geographic Society archives.

The exhibition is education, fun, and interactive with video displays that attendees can access thru the personal handheld video monitors and headsets given to them for use during the tour. Additionally, the Discovery Science Center also has year round and rotating interactive displays for kids and adults to learn from and take part of.  The center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating visitors as well as assisting teachers while increasing public awareness of science, math and technology all in an exciting, interesting way. You learn without realizing it and actually have fun doing so.

1080P HD video of the exhibits coming soon, so check back at Movie Prop Collectors for part 3 of the article series.

Also in the exhibit are some amazing real archeological artifacts which I have interspersed with the Indy film prop artifacts.
