f you're willing to spend the money, the
Museum of Pop Culture contains a myriad of collections from guitars and other musical instruments to Science Fiction items. An entire room titled
Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds has been devoted to Trekkie fans. Movie props, costumes and other miscellaneous items from the original Star Trek TV show to later Star Trek movies exist here.
One of the exhibits in this Star Trek room is a flag flown aboard the Gemini 9 mission in 1966. The other is a Project Gemini spacesuit cover layer from 1964.
Keep in mind that you'll pay extra per person cost to view this room ($5.00/person when I visited) in addition to the museum entrance fee. This museum is owned by Paul Allen of Microsoft fame. Like he needs the money.
**NOTE** I asked museum staff if all collections in the museum are permanent. They replied they were and although a few collections/items may leave the museum as part of a temporary moving exhibit, they'll ultimately return to the museum to stay.
