And it’s not me who added this word to the name!
It was doomed to come… there would be a day where I’d finally spot this place, and this day, well, had finally come. I set myself on my little trip to the Sci-Fi Geeks Museaum & Theater, in Indigo (64,192), and as was to be expected, took quite a good deal of pictures on my way in. It indeed is very nice to visit, even though I’m not sure I know all the references that are actually made in it, between posters, 3D displays and reconstitution of spaceships. Of course, I don’t like not knowing, so I made my own little research when there was something I couldn’t catch… and now I’m less ignorant (or more geeky, depending on how one will look at it).
The entry part of the Museum, as can easily be seen on the snapshots above, is a vast room filled with posters from various series; it leads to two holo-rooms, where one can easily activate a 3D-display of some known, various spacecrafts. I’m a sucker for Babylon 5, so it’s the one I added to my little galore here, but there are some others, of course. The central room also sports a StarGate ring transporter, and two small rooms that evidently urge one to shout “Beam me up Scotty!”.
So, what’s the next thing I did? Beaming up, of course. Warning, trek love inside. One of the teleporters (let’s cal them this way) leads to a reconstruction of the “Defiant”, the other to the Klingon”Bird of Prey”. Both pretty well-done, and it’s fun to roam one’s way in them, looking at how they’ve been built. I’m really not a Star Trek fan (free admittance here!), but I can’t deny that it’s really a nice building job that has been done on them.
Last but not least, the first floor of the Museum is actually a huge theatre, one with a very ncie cosy feeling. I suspect that it must be a place for events, as I do’nt see the interest of a constantly empty theatre room of this size, but whatever – iy has this nice touch of a room perfect for old 50’s sci-fi movies, and I’m certainly not one to complain about this.
And now, I think I can add this one to the list of places that are worth a look and visit.

Haha… OMG… Tanaquil… I passed by there but didn’t explore in depth like you did. Thanks for posting this, it whets my appetite—and hey, it was great to meet you in Second Life again!
P.S. Your link to my website is broken, it has two slashes at the end
Thankya

I’m not a big sci-fi fan, but I really have to admire builds like that where people put so much time, effort, and creativity into bringing their passions into SL. I’m going to have to get out there and take a look at it too.

Oops, I’ve edited the link, thanks for letting me know! When I tested it it took me to your website no matter what, so I hadn’t seen it had a second / at the end… blushes
