A programme of events will take place at the Science Museum from March until September to mark 60 years of the iconic science fiction franchise, Star Trek. To celebrate the anniversary, visitors – in a world-first – can watch all thirteen blockbuster films in the franchise on one of the biggest screens in Europe for the very first time. A free trail spanning the museum will feature iconic objects from the franchise’s archives, curated by the Science Museum. Meanwhile, exclusive products created for the anniversary, including a limited-edition anniversary coin and apparel, will be available in a Star Trek takeover of the mezzanine level of the museum’s shop.

The celebrations will launch on Thursday 26 March (stardate -629499.47), with a special edition of the Science Museum free adults-only event, Lates. Visitors to this after-hours event will be among the first to experience the Star Trek activity. Amid out-of-this-world DJs, scientists, speakers, and performers, visitors are encouraged to don their costumes and strut the iconic catwalk in Energy Hall, pose for a photo in the 360 Enterprise Bridge experience or discover more about what cutting edge research says about the big science questions of Star Trek, from augments to replicators.

Star Trek remains one of culture’s greatest and most enduring sagas and, for the very first time, audiences can experience the entire cinematic legacy in one season. Many of the films have been digitised for the first time, ahead of the screenings at the Science Museum’s IMAX: The Ronson Theatre, one of the biggest screens in the UK. This complete collection spans more than four decades of cinema, from the classic original voyages to the modern reboot blockbusters. 

The Star Trek Trail will feature iconic objects from the franchise’s archives, including screen-used props, and explore the surprising connections between science fiction and real-world innovations. It will be open to visitors throughout the season, taking them on a journey across the museum.

Dr Glyn Morgan, Head of Collections and Principal Curator at the Science Museum, said: “Star Trek has invited audiences to be curious explorers for decades – a mission we know something about at the Science Museum. Star Trek as a cultural phenomenon has played a real role in changing the world of STEM, from inspiring technical innovations to encouraging a generation of modern astronauts. I hope that this Star Trek at 60 programme at the Science Museum inspires visitors to consider what might be possible if you boldly go where no one has gone before.”

In the 60 years since legendary creator Gene Roddenberry first introduced the world to a Star Trek universe grounded in the principle of “Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations,” the franchise has continued to break barriers— inspiring generations of fans through its enduring celebration of cultural diversity and inclusion, its reverence for scientific exploration, and its bold pursuit of uncharted frontiers.

Today, the Star Trek canon continues to thrive through film, television, animation, games, publishing, podcasts, experiences and children’s programming. Available in over 190 countries worldwide, the Star Trek franchise of 11 TV series, 14 films and over 900 episodes has been a mainstay in generating stories that are both exciting and thought-provoking, as well as vastly contributing to the pop culture lexicon throughout the years.
