I recently returned from a weekend Whovian Cosplay vacation to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, PA.
We chose these Museums based on the historical and scientific nature of the attractions, which tied in very well with Doctor Who and also made for some fantastic photo opportunities.
Needless to say, our group was stopped dozens of times each day for photos with other visitors and even many Museum employees as well.
One of the highlights of the trip was meeting actor and Director John Favreau, who was visiting the Natural History Museum with his family.
As not to disturb his family time, I kept my interaction with him brief - thanking him for his time and timidly asking him for a photo, which he was more than happy to do. When he noticed my outfit and I said we were Cosplaying Doctor Who, he replied "Very well done!"
We were also happy to be able to locate Bow Bridge in Central Park, which is one of the filming locations for an upcoming Series 7 episode.
Walking around the park in 90-degree weather in full costume was no picnic, so we unfortunately did not have time to make the trek throughout the park and locate other filming spots, but I am very satisfied to have found the bridge.
There are far too many photos and stories to share, so I will post some of my favorites here.
