Back to the Future museum exhibit

The Hollywood Museum unveiled Back to the Future: The Exhibit with screenwriter Bob Gale and cast members Charles Fleischer, Darlene Vogel, Ricky Dean Logan, Donal Fullilove and Elsa Raven in attendance.

The exhibit includes many props, costumes and vehicles from the three Back to the Future films. It also includes memorabilia and some personal items from Gale, including his handwritten notes.

The Back to the Future trilogy starred Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, a teenager whose scientist friend Doc (Christopher Lloyd) invents a time machine. In the original film, Marty accidentally travels back into time and prevents his parents (Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) from meeting. With the help of young Doc, he has to reunite them to guarantee his own existence, and return to 1985.

Museum President and Founder Donelle Dadigan said collectors around the world contacted her to contribute Back to the Future items. Back to the Future will continue in 2020.

Back to the Future: The Musical opens in Manchester February 20. It will include songs from the film and new songs co-written by the film’s original composer, Alan Silvestri.
