Do you think aliens are real? Do you think you’ve seen a flying saucer? Are we alone?

Sci-Fi has become more than ghostly stories and falling in love with characters like ET and Elf.  Their weird findings tap into our consciousness, which make us think that they actually could exist.  That’s what you will find in each of these museums dedicated to the sci-fi fanatic.  They push the envelope with artifacts, history and artistry proving that there may be worlds far beyond the stars.

Here’s to taking a trip into the mysteries of the unknown.

Bromyard, England: Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction

Around every corner the Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction pays homage to popular TV characters that have made their way into our homes with their astronomical peculiarities.  True to its name, a visit here transports each guest back to the atmospheric worlds of “Star Wars,” “Red Dwarf,” “Captain Scarlet,” “Thunderbirds” and many more with interesting exhibits that will transform every nonbeliever into an avid Sci-Fi lover. 

There’s no telling who you will see while roaming through the dark dungeons, which appear more like finding your way inside of a space shuttle.  But once you capture an eyeful of Hath, Zygon or the Cyberman, you’ll try your hardest to stop yourself from acting like an obsessive fan.

 Seattle, Wash.: EMP Museum, Music, Sci-Fi and Pop Culture

If you’ve ever wanted to dive headfirst into the creativity of sci-fi masterminds, the EMP Museum is the place to be. The museum combines the ideals of science fiction and pop culture to create a universal world where life’s most intriguing questions about space as well as its extraterrestrial creatures are examined. 

You’ll be able to delve into the careers of its Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame inductees like David Bowie by exploring the concepts of his musical works including Diamond Dogs as well as The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust.   Here, you will also be able to tap into the theories of flying saucers, and wrestle with the ideas that other beings may truly exist. 

From coming observing a replica of the Discovery spacecraft which was featured in the movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” to exploring video game art, no question about the mysteries of space will be avoided at the EMP Museum.

Roswell, N.M.: The Roswell UFO Museum

Are you deeply intrigued by UFOs?  Do you believe there is life beyond the stars? 

Well if not, your opinions about extraterrestrial life may change once you’ve entered inside of the Roswell UFO Museum.  Unlike any of its kind, the museum traces back to the 1940s, when a mysterious object crashed northwest of Roswell. Fragments of a reported flying saucer and unidentified bodies were recovered from the site. However, for many years this event remained unsolved and one of the first UFO cover ups because the spaceship was later reported as a weather balloon that crashed instead.

The Roswell UFO Museum begs to differ with alien exhibits, historical documents and recounts of UFO findings to pique any curiosity.  With a tour of this celestial museum, you too may believe in this strange phenomenon.

Washington, D.C.: Museum of Science Fiction

Aliens have officially landed in Washington, D.C.  Well that’s where your mind will go once you tour the Museum of Science Fiction.  With sounds and sights inching their visitors further into space, prepare for the journey of a lifetime.  

You’ll be traveling light-years away and rubbing shoulders with Martians, discovering what the future holds for space-travel and using cutting-edge technology to open your imagination about the endless possibilities of supernatural beings.

Set to be the first of its kind to provide a comprehensive tour into the history and art that links the mysteries of sci-fi to mankind, die-hard sci-fi fans are expected to be educated, trilled and transported to a world where few men have gone- outer space.

Hollywood, Calif.: Hollywood Museum Sci-Fi Exhibit

Whether you camp out on street corners whenever a new “Star Wars” movie debuts or you’re just a casual onlooker, the sci-fi exhibit at the Hollywood Museum is a must-see.

Where else will you be able to come face-to-face with Spock and Captain Kirk’s outfits or where Darth Vader and C-3PO hang their uniforms when they’ve taken a break from the big screen?  Not only will you be in the midst of your favorite sci-fi movie, but you can watch scenes unfold with the exhibit’s extensive collection of memorabilia.

Who knew Spock and other famed characters resided in Hollywood?
