Doctor Who exhibitions
Since the first broadcast of the British science-fiction television serial Doctor Who in 1963, there have been a number of exhibitions of props, costumes and sets relating to the show throughout the United Kingdom. Some have been intended to be permanent, and others seasonal; most have been staged at existing tourist locations.
Worlds of Wonder, subtitled 'Where Science Meets Fiction' , is a touring semi-permanent museum exhibit that was first displayed in the United Kingdom before going international.
The exhibit features costumes of every Doctor, various props including sonic screwdrivers, a 'hall of monsters' with many monster costumes and heads including Daleks, Cybermen, Davros, Weeping Angels and many more. The main focus of the exhibit is how the show derides fiction from science thus creating science fiction, for example how the Judoon are based on rhinoceros, and features specially-filmed video segments with narration from Mark Gatiss, and a pseudo-animatronic of Lady Cassandra with new voice lines by Zoë Wanamaker.
The first incarnation opened in May 2022 in Liverpool, England before moving to Edinburgh, Scotland later that year and closing the following May. The exhibit then reopened in June 2024 in Wellington, New Zealand, and closed in October.
The current home of Worlds of Wonder is in San Diego, California in the United States, having opened in March 2025. Initially set to close in March 2026, it was extended to January 2027.
The first permanent exhibition was set up at the stately home of Longleat, Wiltshire in 1973, and ran until 2003. The site has also hosted annual Doctor Who conventions, usually in August.
The twentieth anniversary convention was titled "Twenty Years of a Time Lord" and was held in April 1983. It featured appearances from Jon Pertwee (and the vintage car Bessie), Peter Davison, K9; props included the TARDIS, Daleks, and the set of "The Five Doctors" feature-length special. About 40,000 fans turned up, many more than expected.
In 2003, the annual "Doctor Who Day", to mark the 40th anniversary of the programme, featured an attempt to gather the largest number of Daleks ever assembled. Colin Baker, Sophie Aldred and John Leeson attended.
