The exhibit showcases a vast collection of original props and sets, and behind-the-scenes resource materials from the world’s longest-running science fiction show, which was launched by the BBC in 1963.
The multi-sensory exhibit lets visitors step into the doctor’s adventures, encounter iconic characters and explore famous onscreen worlds while learning about the real-life science behind the show’s memorable moments.
A wealth of scientific “wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey” topics like the concept of time travel, artificial intelligence, DNA manipulation and cloning can be explored throughout the exhibit.
Highlights include:
Local
● A Time Vortex Corridor and TARDIS Tech Room where visitors can examine the technological capabilities of the Doctor’s gadgets and gizmos, including a collection of authentic sonic screwdrivers
● The Monster Vault that houses the doctor’s most terrifying alien adversaries, including the Cybermen and the Weeping Angels (plus a simulator that allows visitors to change their voice to sound like a Dalek!)
● Exclusive Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder merch, exclusive to the Comic-Con Museum
