The Skirball has long been a cultural treasure in Brentwood and this month is no exception!
Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds is a tremendous new exhibition showcasing the timeline
of the Star Trek franchise over 50+ years, including the outstanding Star Trek memorabilia collection of late Microsoft Co-Founder, Paul G. Allen.
Great opportunities to take photos in the Captains’ Chair, create your own “Holodeck” video and learn how Star Trek influenced future technology, including the cell phone — all in a Covid compliant atmosphere.
