ALIEN INVASION MORE THAN TREBLES VISITOR NUMBERS AT TORQUAY MUSEUM
Torquay Museum's visitor numbers were launched into orbit when it exceeded its visitor target for 2009 in just ten weeks thanks to INVASION, a touring exhibition provided by Scottish company Ideas. Nineteen thousand visitors came through a museum which expected to see 5,000 in the whole of 2009.

On the busiest day, over 1,000 visitors came to see the display of creatures, props and costumes from landmark and popular science fiction films and television series such as Alien, Lost in Space, Mars Attacks, Predator, Robocop, Star Wars, Terminator and The X-Files. Previously, the highest number of visitors the museum attracted in a day was 300.

"INVASION has its roots in a project commissioned for the Zenith Project some years ago" explains Don Jack, Creative Director of Ideas, the design consultancy that provided the exhibition. "We were asked to create a vision for a £20m visitor attraction, indoor ski centre and water park for Scarborough's North Bay. One of our proposals: UFOLand, evolved into INVASION, an exhibition which has since appeared in many museums and tourist attractions over the years."

"Because Ideas is a full service creative agency," he continues, "we can advise on and provide related merchandising, vital in maximising the profitability of any exhibition. We have enormous experience in developing interactive and educational events, workshops, guest appearances and bolt-on event ideas which we know work, because our clients have used them in the past to great effect .

"INVASION is one of a range of touring exhibitions developed by IDEAS' exhibitions arm, which includes CELEBRITY - a collection of personal belongings from the world of show business ranging from Marilyn Monroe's tiara to Geri Halliwell's platform boots; ROBOTS - life size robots, cyborgs and androids from television and cinema and ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS - an exhibition of the must-have toys and games from the last 50 years of Christmas mornings.

N. B. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with collection prior to booking.
The general condition of these items props and costumes is entirely consistent with use and purpose. In some case, distressed appearance is what gives these props their sense of reality, allowing us to suspend our belief. This aged patina is achieved by the prop-maker and accentuated by lighting on set or CGI. For the most part, these items were not created for close scrutiny nor ironically for display. Although movie props and costumes are NOT are as slick as they can appear on screen, it is this very quality which make this such a fascinating and seductive exhibition. It's a behind the scenes look at a unique part of movie making history.
And finally......Due to the rigors of transportation, it is likely that on arrival at the venue, all plinths will require to be painted, indeed we would reccomend this. For best results please use silk or satin paint applied by small radiator roller.
