Space Adventure (also called on some merchandise World of Doctor Who Exhibition) was a short lived exhibition in Tooley Street London.
Overview
Using props from the cut short Doctor Who USA Tour this exhibition featured many of the props that had featured in that exhibition. Visitors entered through a Police Box shaped entry and walked through a series of exhibits, being able to come quite close to some of the exhibits.[1]
Notable elements
Like the Doctor Who USA tour props many of this exhibition's props were engineered to move. The Tractator's antennae moved, the Dalek's eye stalk, sucker and gun arms all moved. Other props such as the Silurian and Sontaran had glowing eyes and their heads moved from side to side.[1]
