From May 10 through Sept. 1, the city’s Center of Science and Industry Museum is hosting Unofficial Galaxies, one of the largest private collections of Star Wars memorabilia in the world. This exhibit will highlight franchise characters, set designs, behind-the-scenes info and more, with props, costumes and many, many other artifacts on display. There will also be a “cantina” within the exhibit, selling a custom beer created for fans.
Throughout the summer, the city at large is celebrating all things Star Wars with other fun happenings, such as the May the 4th Be With You events at Columbus Main Library (which will actually be held tomorrow, May 3) and The Little Grand Market, a Star Wars-themed game night at Columbus Clippers’ Huntington Park, and more.

To help you make the most of your visit, The Junto boutique hotel also offers a Dark Side or Light package, which includes a two-night hotel stay, two tickets to Unofficial Galaxies at COSI, two themed cocktails and exclusive merchandise.
