As a result of the cooperation with the Svábhegyi Csillagwyszálgóló, an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition is also available for schoolchildren or anyone who would like to deepen their scientific knowledge. Even speaking of Star Wars.

The phrase May the force be with you, used in the movies, became May the 4th be with you, hence the Star Wars day of May 4th. Hungarian fans are at the forefront of organizing clubs and gatherings, but now they are not the only ones who can enjoy the secret information related to the cult saga.

Today is International Star Wars Day, so the Traveling Galaxy exhibition has expanded its palette with a sensational educational initiative. As a result of the cooperation with the Svábhegyi Csillagwyszálgóló, an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition is also available for schoolchildren or anyone who would like to deepen their scientific knowledge. Even speaking of Star Wars.

The interactive exhibition based on the Traveling Galaxy private collection presents more than two hundred maquettes, models and life-size dolls that have not been seen publicly until now. Mainly on the theme of the original (IV, V, VI) parts of the Star Wars trilogy, but we can also meet familiar characters from the video games and the latest series.

Today, on the international Star Wars day, the works of Szabolcs Menyhei, who worked in the team responsible for the visual effects of the films, will be presented for the first time. Incidentally, in 2021, Menyhei also won an Oscar for Tenet's visual effects. Now we can also see his works related to Star Wars, for example the illustrations for Clone Wars, which were published as fine art prints by Lucasfilm and are considered a real curiosity.

During the tour, we can also get richer scientific background information thanks to the Svábhegyi Star Observatory, for example, we can learn that there is a moon that has an appearance similar to the Death Star. Or it will also be revealed how our Milky Way differs from the Star Wars galaxy.
