PROP & WARDROBE EXHIBITS
COMING SOON!
Exhibitions of original costumes and props from the collection of Ronald M. Vastola.
THE FIRST AND ONLY EXHIBITION OF ITS KIND
Original Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Props and Costumes:
From The Collection of Ronald M. Vastola
The film and series, produced and developed by Universal Studios and Glen A. Larson, were based on the Buck Rogers character that appeared in newspaper comic strips, from 1929-1967, a 1932-1947 radio show, a 1939 movie serial, and a 1950-1951 ABC television series.
The popularity of the 1979-1981 television series led to the revival of numerous comic books and paperback novels, toys and models, games, and the Buck Rogers newspaper comic strip, re-titled Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (from 1980-1983).
Today, over 80 years later, Buck Rogers continues to be an important part of American pop culture, and is credited with bringing into popular media the concept of space exploration. This exhibit will allow viewers to compare the technology of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century to real-world aerospace science and technology.

REAL-LIFE ROCKY BALBOA EXHIBITION
Authentic Rocky Balboa Props and Costumes
From The Collection of Ronald M. Vastola
Borrowed from the collection of Ronald M. Vastola, Pennsylvania; this exhibition will feature a unique sampling of original prop and wardrobe items from the production of Rocky Balboa, the sixth and final film in the Rocky series, which began with the award-winning Rocky in 1976.
Rocky Balboa (rated PG) was released in theatres nationwide on December 20, 2006 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Columbia Pictures and Revolution Studios. The film starred Oscar-winning writer, director and producer Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, Burt Young as Paulie, and real-life boxer Antonio Tarver as Mason "The Line" Dixon.
Today, over thirty years later, Philadelphia's favorite son "Rocky Balboa" continues to be recognized as a film icon, sports legend, and American hero.
