The characters and props from the Ben Stiller comedy will be featured in a new exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
The characters that come to life in the Ben Stiller family-comedy Night at the Museum will be part of a special exhibit at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County from April 25 through September 16.
The exhibit, which coincides with the movie’s DVD release on April 24, will be housed in the museum’s newly revamped Director’s Gallery and include an array of original set decoration, costumes, hand-props, and photographs from the film’s production.
A focal point for the newly created exhibit will be the one-ton, 13-foot-tall and 21-foot-long Rexy, the film’s playful T. Rex antagonist. Along with Rexy will be the original life-sized Theodore Roosevelt (played in the movie by Robin Williams) figure mounted on his horse; Ben Stiller’s security guard uniform; Attila and his Huns and a Neanderthal from the movie dioramas; Ahkmenrah’s ancient magic tablet and gold sarcophagus tomb; and Octavius’ Roman centurion armor.
The museum will also host a sleepover event on April 27 for winners of a special scavenger hunt, offering them a chance to spend the night in the museum and participate in a range of fun activities, as well as a screening of the DVD. For a chance to win, visit the Natural History Museum before April 19 to get your scavenger hunt materials.

What can I say. Ben is a talented actor. I went to see this film (even though I knew it was for kids) but found it very humorous. I enjoyed it and recomend it to fans of all ages.

This exhibit is for 2007, right? Or has this passed already?
