Unofficial Galaxies shares one of the largest private fan-owned Star Wars collections in the world. Showcasing iconic characters, designs, and cinematic artifacts from the most influential science-fiction franchises of all time. More than a nostalgic journey, this exhibition offers museums a rare opportunity to explore the artistry, world-building, and cultural impact that have defined generations of fans.

Celebrated as a “must-see exhibition for galactic enthusiasts,” it captivates lifelong followers of the saga and new audiences alike—inviting visitors to step inside the story that continues to shape global culture.

Through 142 exhibits across 22 immersive scenes, the exhibition reinterprets iconic Star Wars moments as a curated tapestry of art, craft, and human imagination. These pieces are not simply props and costumes—they are cultural touchstones that reflect universal themes: courage, conflict, identity, and the enduring tension between good and evil. This exhibition celebrates the extraordinary people and artistry behind the franchise.

Unofficial Galaxies offers a flexible, high-impact exhibition with broad family appeal, proven audience draw, and rich opportunities for programming, education, and community engagement.
