The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum will host a special temporary exhibition of The Barmecide Feast, a fully realized, full-scale reflection of the iconic, neo-classical hotel room from 2001: A Space Odyssey, as first seen at LA’s 14th Factory. The installation will be the centerpiece of the museum’s celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary. Museum visitors will be able to enter the recreated room in small groups for short periods to experience the surreal environment depicted in the film.
The public will get its first chance to see the installation as part of the museum’s Yuri’s Night celebration, a ticketed, 21-and-over evening event presented with Brightest Young Things Saturday, April 7.
