Spock’s Pointy Ears Are Headed To The Smithsonian
Leonard Nimoy’s Spock ears are set to live long and prosper at the National Air and Space Museum.
“The outreach effort seeks to create a more robust national collection of objects and stories” of the 9/11 attacks and their aftermath, says the Smithsonian.
Last seen in 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” the full-sized fictional spacecraft is being conserved in preparation for moving to the museum downtown next year.
The U.S. government is seeking to return to Iraq a “looted” ancient tablet that came into the museum’s possession via arts-and-crafts chain Hobby Lobby.
“These two artifacts tell important stories about how journalists work, and the threats they face, even in the United States.”
