The stage prop from the Star Trek TV series is one more than 430 items on display at the Star Trek Exhibition at the Franklin Institute.
It opens on Saturday.
"The main characters are scientists, engineers and doctors. They're exploring, it's a brave new world. So, that's what's exciting about it to a lot of people," said Steve Snyder of The Franklin Institute.
Back when the computer generated image was just a theory, the producers used mini-spaceship replicas to create space scenes.
You can also see the phasers once used to do battle with Klingons, and a life-size model of the bridge on the Enterprise.
You can even see how the starships featured in the TV series, and the nearly dozen films, have evolved over time.
View the outfits once worn by crew members, aliens, and even Ricardo Montalban in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."
You can even see the latest Star Trek movie, being shown at the adjoining IMAX theatre.
