The show spans science fiction's evolution from Jules Verne to Interstellar with over 800 rare objects, including Darth Vader's helmet, H.R. Giger's designs for Alien, and busts of Godzilla.
Science fiction moved from the fringes of geek fandom to the center of modern entertainment culture.

Swiss curator Patrick Gyger says: "The big coup is doing this exhibition at the Barbican. It's a major cultural institution, which is quite mainstream, and I think it's the biggest cultural centre in Europe."

The show also includes six original paintings from Dinotopia (above right in this photo), including Dinosaur Parade, Dinosaur Boulevard, and Waterfall City.
After its stint in London, the exhibition will travel to Greece and Denmark.

Dear Mr. Gurney,
My name is Elijah Fenter and I am a student at the Northwest College of Art and Design. I have been following Dinotopia and drawing inspiration from it for as long as I can remember.
