The History of The Future Museum
After purchasing a ticket, one walked through a museum that included numerous items from Star Trek history. It also featured several video display devices and a timeline of Star Trek events. Later, there were displays for each of the major alien races, which included the Borg, Klingons, and Ferengi. Ticket prices eventually increased to allow visitors unlimited rides throughout the day.
The last section of the museum was a hallway that served as the attraction queues. The left side was for the Borg Invasion 4-D, and the right side was for the Klingon Encounter. The Klingon Encounter held 27 people while the Borg Invasion 4-D held 48 people. Each show was constructed so that those "in the back" for the first part of the show would, in turn, likely end up in the front for the second half of either show.
The History of the Future Museum closed alongside the closure of The Experience in 2008. It is no longer in operation in the Las Vegas Hotel (formerly Las Vegas Hilton).

Famous quotes containing the words history, future and/or museum:
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“A Museum of fetishes would give special attention to the history of underwear.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
