Universal Theme Parks: The Exhibition makes its world premiere on Feb. 14, 2026, at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Organizers are calling the 18,000-square-foot experience the "first exhibit of its kind" to pull authentic costumes and artifacts directly from the vault while breaking down the actual engineering used to build the company's most massive attractions.
Raiding the Universal Vault
The exhibition spans eight distinct galleries and features more than 100 original artifacts, costumes, and props that have never been displayed this way before.
