This spring, a galaxy far, far away comes to The Children's Museum of Indianapolis when STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Exhibition opens March 23. The visual exhibition features artwork, costumes and other pieces used in the concept and production for STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS, the first-ever animated feature and television series from Lucasfilm Animation.
Children and families to The Children's Museum will be able to visualize the characters, the stories and the worlds of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS as they view maquettes, concept designs and artwork from the series, as well as costumes, props, models and character art from the live-action feature films.
Animation scale models introduce visitors to the characters of The Clone Wars and the process by which these characters were created, designed and brought to life. Framed digital prints of original Clone Wars art and environments allow visitors a look into worlds beyond the stars. In addition to lightsabers and costumes from the movies, a full-sized Jedi starfighter will be prominently displayed in the museum's Welcome Center.
The animated STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS series covers an exciting era in the Star Wars Saga, taking place between EPISODES II and III. As the Clone Wars sweep through the galaxy, the heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace. Led by Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the heroic forces of the Galactic Republic valiantly resist the evil Count Dooku and his sinister Separatist agents.
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS Exhibition will be at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis through January 31, 2010. For more information, visit ChildrensMuseum.org.
