Check the Weekend section in Friday's Washington Post.  It lists
exhibits and dates.

I couldn't obtain a Friday Post despite trying several places in my
neighborhood (either I woke up too late or they never had any).

If someone knows the answer to this PLEASE post it! Pretty please?
Or a phone number for the proper Smithsonian branch to contact?

My only sort of semi-excuse for posting is that I've just moved to the
MD area and it is pretty discouraging when you can't even find a newspaper.
Thanks!

I have been told my quite a number of very helpful netters (thanks to one and
all!!) that the exhibit is scheduled to run through January 31, 1993.

I have found telephone directories very useful for this.
Or 411, now that 626.4400 is gone.

In the first place, the notion that the exhibit was imminently
going away was advanced as a question, not as a statement
of truth. I saw the listing in the Weekend section of the Post
and it mentioned nothing about the exhibit leaving.

They have the usual info about requiring free tickets to
see it, but that was all. They list two numbers just to
confuse matters more: 202.786.2122 appears right after the
mention of tickets. Then, after the hours of operation is
the number 202.357.2700..

nuff said.

I'm afraid the Post wouldn't have helped you anyway.  The weekend 
section listed the exhibit but not the date.  Try giving the museum
a call.  I'm sure they're in the phone book.

Christine,

Did you check out the NewStand store over at the Giant plaza?  They and
the High's in Arbutus carry the Post, or the 7-11 on Frederick and Paradise
(assumming that the umbc.edu means your in the Catonsville area)

The Post does list what is currently at all of the Smithsonian Museums
in the Friday weekend section.  Or at least it used to.  I have
not check it recently.

I hate to say this ,but I think the Star Trek exhibit is long gone.  This
is all from memory, but it was never meant to be a long term exhibit and 
I think it ended in the Fall sometime.  I saw in the Post a couple of 
weeks ago that a new exhibit about the future of manned exploration 
opened at the A+S.   I assume that this replaced the Star Trek exhibit.

I called the Star Trek Exhibit phone number (which is 202-786-2122) and the
recording said the exhibit would end on 1/31/93.  The recording also gives some
other information, so if you are interested in going, I suggest you call first.

well, the star trek exhibit was still there as of last friday.
i remember reading in the paper (post) that the exhibit was extending
its stay at the NASM.
