SW: Where Science Meets Imagination '08
 Posted By Mike on February 14, 2008
We had reported here, that the last US stop for Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination will be at The Science Museum of Minnesota from June 13th to August 24th, 2008.
Well, friend of TFN, Jason P., wrote to let us know that it will also be making a stop at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia, PA according to the museum website. No word yet on the exact dates. (though I guess it will be before June 13th) We will keep you posted.
Click here to visit the website of the Franklin Institute.
Thanks Jason!
UPDATE: Megan from the Franklyn Institute was nice enough to get in touch and let us know that the dates for the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit in Philly will be from February 8, 2008 until May 4, 2008. As of now, the only way to get advanced tickets is to become a member of the museum. You can do so by clicking here. Otherwise, we will get you more info as it becomes available.
Thanks Megan!
UPDATE #2: Just a reminder that Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination opens at the Franklyn Institute in Philadelphia this weekend and will run until May 4th.
