OUR MISSION
The mission of the Hollywood Science Fiction Museum (HSFM) is to teach and inspire people of all ages with an uplifting vision of the future found in science fiction media, art and literature by teaching Real Science through Science Fiction, including technology, ecology, engineering, computers, robotics, math, space travel and all aspects of filmmaking through fun, interactive exhibits and programs.
History
Sci-Fi World began as New Starship Foundation in August 2012, as an effort to preserve a Paramount-built Star Trek Enterprise-D display bridge (the style seen on the hugely successful TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation). Through stories on NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, A&E, Space.com, Geekosystem, Engadget, Syfy Blaster, CBC, Mythbusters’ Tested, Star Trek Magazine and hundreds of others, the Foundation’s success shot up overnight and quickly evolved into a project that sparked the imaginations of thousands of people from all around the world. Support continued from many Star Trek legends, including William Shatner, George Takei, Brent Spiner, Denise Crosby, Benedict Cumberbatch, Karl Urban and Ronald D. Moore. Expanding the Foundation’s purpose to include creating Sci-Fi World has helped gain additional support from the cast and crew from Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Doctor Who, and many other TV shows and films.
The Foundation has raised over $200,000 from fans alone, has 450,000 followers on social media and millions of visitors to the website.
