Moyse's Hall Museum in Bury St Edmunds launches new exhibition Sci Fi & Action: Icons of Cinema celebrating famous faces of the silver screen

A museum is set to launch a new exhibition celebrating the icons of the silver screen with costumes and props on display used by the likes of Tom Cruise, Kate Winslet and Brad Pitt.

Moyse's Hall Museum in Bury St Edmunds will welcome visitors to its Sci Fi & Action: Icons of Cinema exhibition from Saturday October 22.

Never-seen-before pieces from smash box office hits like Titanic, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings will be on show as well as Tim Burton’s iconic 1989 Batman starring Jack Nicholson as The Joker.

Cllr Jo Rayner, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture at West Suffolk Council which owns and manages the museum, said: “Whether it’s people from across our local communities, or visitors from far, far away, the sci-fi and action exhibitions are always great attractions.

"They are enjoyed by people of all ages and bring a boost for the local economy as well. But while there will be plenty to see, you don’t have to be a huge film buff to appreciate the full force and nostalgia of this iconic exhibition.”

Moyse's Hall has displayed items from some of the biggest films and TV series as part of its Sci-Fi & Action exhibitions for over ten years.

Displays will also celebrate cult TV, classic cartoons and British offbeat shows both nostalgic and forgotten to time.

The exhibition will be open Monday-Saturday from 10am to 5pm and Sundays 12pm-4pm from 22 October until 18 December.

Adult tickets are £7 while concessions are £6, children £5 (aged 5-16 years) and family £20.

One hour time slots can be prebooked online or for details call 01284 758000.

Tickets will also available on the door. The exhibition is promoted by West Suffolk Heritage Service.
