A Unique View of Star Trek Discovery

The months of May, June, and July of this year, 2019, will be open to the public at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills for viewing memorabilia from Star Trek Discovery showing on CBS All Access.

Science Fiction props, miniature models, and furniture from the world of Star Trek, on the first floor, easily draw the attention of the patrons to this free, ticketed event. Several free standing costumes fitted on to mannequins fill in the surrounding space and characterization is meticulous. The costumes are elaborately woven and the weapons of the implied world are descriptive through fantasy.

The walkway heading up feels exaggerated from the long steps of the staircase and it has costumed figures at either end. Artwork can also be found on either end of the staircase and the feeling that more is to come further draws in patrons.

The Stanley E. Hubbard Gallery on the second floor was also interesting due to the masks and costumes within. Several masks and four more costumes along with fantasy artwork, that develops the story, enhances the room and two large Teleprompters intermittently fill in patrons with further information regarding Season Two.

The attendant at the booth relayed to me a comprehensive story about recent events at the museum, which according to the staff member behind the booth, included a private event at the museum wherein the cast for the show attended. I listened intently and found the conversation helpful as an instructional aid to understanding the Star Trek universe found within the Paley Center for Media.

A hallway between the first and second floor was filled with several more costumes and a hanging character, with what appeared to be wings, which summoned imagery of fantasy and exotic worlds of imagination, were exciting descriptors of what appears to be a great show on CBS All Access. I enjoyed the very sobering look at what goes into such an in-depth creation and a look at the show is on my list of things to do.
