Here is a treat for all “Avatar” fans in or around Seattle. According to James Cameron, a collection of memorabilia from the 2009 blockbuster film will go on display in Seattle’s Experience Music Project|Science Fiction Museum beginning June 4th 2011.
“Avatar,” the science-fiction epic, which was set in the year 2154, became the highest-grossing film of all time worldwide. According to rumors, the exhibit will include some 40 to 50 artifacts from the film.
The exhibit has been in the works for nearly a year, since “Avatar” made it into theaters in late 2009. Cameron visited the museum and “walked the floor space” where the exhibit would be, and staffers traveled south to visit Cameron’s prop room and select artifacts with him.
Among the artifacts will be the bow used by Zoe Saldana’s character Neytiri (it’s 9 feet long, Cameron said — “it reminds you of the scale difference between Na’vi and humans”). Busts of characters, soldier uniforms and other Na’vi props and costume pieces also will shown.
The exhibit will stay at the museum through Sept. 3, 2012 before completing a tour which will bring the exhibit to many other cities around the world.
