After a little digging this will be on tour for a while going to an additional 11 cities. The cities and the cost for the exhibit are listed below at the link

You could host this exhibit for the low cost of only 400k for 5 months, but at least you get "Professionally packed crates and handling instructions."

And they think this is the boba fett outfit used in RoTJ

On an interesting note...this photo is not in the Boba Fett Second Prototype photo collection.

Damn, maybe Gino can hook the community up with some behind the scene pictures. Like not behind glass, no flash, etc.

I've got a Seattle road trip planned for this weekend and I've got my tickets to the exhibit.
I got the 2 pm timeslot for Sunday Feb. 8.
If anyone else is there at that time, I'll be the bearded guy loitering around the Fett display

I got to attend the show on Sunday.
Boba and Jango are actually located in the main part of the musuem and you don't need the extra ticket to the star wars exhibit to see them.
Since they were on their own, they were almost the only costumes behind glass (there was a stormtrooper behind glass in the SW exhibit too), but they were also some of the only costumes you could walk around and see both sides.
I took way too many photos
Should i post a few here? Is there anything specific that people want to see?
The lighting wasn't great, but I brought a good DSLR with a fast lens, so i focused in on some of the parts that i found interesting.

Hey Grenater. I was lucky that a visit worked out for me. That's about as close to Vancouver that the exhibit will visit. I ended up posting a bunch in my WiP thread (not sure if it was the best place, but that's where they ended up). You can find them at http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/wip-esb-fett-rapidly-expanding-project-49771/index3.html.
Check them out and let me know if there is anything specific you want to see. I took a lot of pics . As RafalFett pointed out they used the Pre- Pro #3 helmet for this exhibit.
