What do Mr. Roger’s sneakers, Selena’s leather jacket, Prince’s yellow cloud  guitar, and Dorothy’s ruby slippers have in common?

They will all be part of a new exhibition on pop culture at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, set to open late this year. It’s the first-ever permanent exhibition dedicated to the history of entertainment at the museum, and has been in the works for more than a decade.

The 7,200 sq. ft. exhibition will feature some of the museum’s most famous items — like Dorothy’s slippers, made for Judy Garland in the 1939 The Wizard of Oz film — as well as new objects that haven’t yet been displayed publicly. It will chronicle the past of American pop culture, including television, film, music, theater and sports.

“With its remarkable entertainment collection, the National Museum of American History can tell the story of entertainment like no other museum in the world,” said Kristal Klingenberg, a curator at the museum, in a video announcing the opening of the exhibition on Dec. 9.

The bilingual exhibition, called “Entertainment Nation”/“Nación del espectáculo,” will feature a total of 200 objects continually rotated through the gallery, including C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars, the original Muppets, Indiana Jones’ iconic fedora, John Coltrane’s saxophone, and Captain America’s red, white and blue shield.

New objects that haven’t yet been on display include the necktie worn by former NFL player Randy Moss commemorating victims of police brutality, the suit Ellen DeGeneres wore when she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, guitars once owned by Prince, Jose Feliciano, Toby Keith and Paul Simon, a cape from Puerto Rican astrologer Walter Mercado, and Michelle Yeoh’s Star Trek costume.

“People are not just sports fans or just theater fans, or just music fans or just film fans, they are all of these things,” said curator John Troutman in the video. “By placing these modes of entertainment and conversation with one another we can much better understand how entertainment played a key role in shaping the nation at any given time in the nation’s past.”

The exhibition will also have a companion website, where online visitors can peruse videos and learn more from curators about the design process behind it.
