The exhibit opening in conjunction with the 35th Anniversary of BTTF - Part 1, and the 30th Anniversary of BTTF - Part 3! "This exhibit evokes memories for several generations of fans of the ever-popular " 'Back To The Future' movie franchise. In the " 'BACK TO THE FUTURE' TRILOGY: The Exhibit", there is something for everyone. And, every fan of this franchise will be talking about this exhibit for years to come."

The exhibit consists of three popular sections - Hill Valley from 1955, Hill Valley from 1985, and Hill Valley from 1885, will pay tribute to the film franchise. Rob Klein, a top BTTF collector and Special Guest Curator for this exhibit said, "In my opinion these three films are the most perfect in Cinematic history, in fact Universal Studios wanted a 4th installment - however both Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis agreed that the trilogy should not be revisited as they felt they had created and produced a trilogy that could not get any better."

Dadigan, who is also the Chair of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, Chair of the Hollywood Historic Trust, and Vice Chair of the California Film Commission said "We are beyond excited that fans of this movie franchise will be able to see original, costumes, props, along with the ever popular merchandise that fans of all ages loved to collect from all three films, and the Part 3 Hero DeLorean Time Machine as seen in the BTTF Part 3 - There are more than 350 artifacts in this special one of a kind exhibit, and many of these items have never been on public display before."
