A short clip covering the restoration of the original NCC-1701 shooting model at the Smithsonian, and another after it went back on display.
I'm fairly sure that I saw it in person twenty years ago on a field trip when the traveling Smithsonian exhibition came to town. I distinctly remember seeing the ruby slippers (they aren't as impressive in person, FYI). I love museums, and I want to get to the real Smithsonian someday. Incidentally, in these clips the experts do their best with the treknobabble, but they mess up a lot. Or at least they tend to go generic or imprecise. I kept wanting to yell at the screen "go to the Internet and you'll find hundreds of people willing to help you for free!" The Smithsonian also has a Voyager commbadge given to astronaut Sally Ride. Size comparison of several scifi ships, done to scale in CG.
