SETI museum displays: Sci-Fi Museum Seattle, WA
It is not too bad a display, here are some interesting points
* shows Drake Equations
* shows extent of Earth's radio emissions into space (volume) versus size of
Milky Way (spherical area)
* shows a wheel of 'no-contact scenarios -- some realistic, some as seen in
Sci-Fi literature
* has Enhanced SETI running (last seen struggling on a 10 hours long WU at
50% completion)
* shows miniature of dish in Allen Array
* one can listen in to space noise
* shows the original SETI 'wow' signal printout
Missing points
* no ability to listen to pulsars, nor are pulsars covered in SETI context
