This exhibit was in Michigan this past winter. The local 501st trooped it a few times. The museum itself did childrens events along with their own supplied Vader (Rubies) so they wouldn't let us bring our better Vaders along.

The exhibit itself was decent, but not that huge. Had a bunch of oddball stuff all thrown together from a variety of movies. Things I remember offhand that are not mentioned in their ad you posted were things like:

-Original Stormtrooper helmet and metal blaster
-New series BSG pilot flightsuit and helmet
-Robin costume from 1960s Batman TV show
-Jim Carey Riddler costume
-Ecto 1 and Keaton Batmobile cars
-7 of 9's costume and a variety of other Star Trek stuff
-Costumes from stuff like Highlander, Tron, etc.

By the way, the Vader on display had the ESB stunt helmet, complete with the lens material in the cheeks and such we've seen pics of here a long time ago.
