Where the exhibit

After the exhibit closes in San Diego,
it will move to the Discovery Place in Charlotte,
NC for the rest of 2008. Apparently,
the exhibit will be shipped back to Italy in early 2009 for
refurbishment before going on the road again to (among other
places) Melbourne, Australia, and Liverpool, England. The
Melbourne Museum will present the exhibit from June 26 to October
11, 2009.
