What are we talking about? In 1979 Fox set up an exhibition at The Museum of Science and Industry (now the California Science Center) in downtown LA celebrating the release of Alien. On display were several artifacts from the movie including the Space Jockey, Narcissus, Narcissus Shuttle Bay and the Nostromo. In the coming weeks we're gonna share Hans' photos with you all. To kick off this amazing find here, is a photo of the creature that started it all, the Space Jockey. Here's an additional one from the collection.

Here's some amazing close-up shots of the Nostromo model as it looked in 1979:

Here, is Nostromo photo 1, here's 2, here's 3, and here's 4.

Hans has also brought us some wonderful detail shots of the Narcissus model as it looked in 1979:
