- You may be looking for the DWU Doctor Who Exhibition.
Doctor Who exhibitions have taken many forms, from simple promotional tours, to exhibits part of other exhibitions to totally dedicated exhibitions given wholly to Doctor Who props and materials.
Covered here are all these, with dedicated exhibitions linked to their own articles. Exhibits where the Doctor Who element was part of a much larger exhibition are covered on this page.
Daily Mail exhibitions[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early in Doctor Who's broadcast schedule the Daleks were extremely popular. In 1964, to capitalise on the success of the Daleks' popularity the Daily Mail newspaper approached the BBC and suggested that Doctor Who be represented as part of the Daily Mail's "Boys & Girls Exhibition at Olympia", this was an annual event held by the paper.[1]
Thus was the first public appearance by the Daleks, the show opened in December 1964. The BBC loaned 2 Dalek props both which had a prerecorded soundtrack accompanying them.[1] It continued to operate through into 1965.
In 1967 and through into 1968, building on the success of their previous exhibition in 1964/5, this exhibition was again part of the Daily Mail's "Boys & Girls Exhibition". However this time it featured a much larger array of aliens from the series with not just the Daleks included this time, but also:
Note: The Mire Beast and the Fungoid were referred to in the exhibition's programme as "the Octopus" and "the Cactus" respectively.
The winning designs from the Blue Peter Design-a-Monster competition were also on display, having already featured on Blue Peter.

When the exhibition opened it was unique at the time as it was the only Madame Tussaud's exhibition with two models of the same individual, the Tom BakerFourth Doctor model and the Meglos version, both sculpted by Judith Craig.
This portion of the Tussauds exhibition had an initial run through to 31 March 1981 but it was greatly extended due to the enormous popularity. However, by 1999 the key features of some of the models (heads and hands) had been placed in storage.[3]
The exhibition was designed by Michael Wright who headed a team from Madame Tussaud's.
The Fourth Doctor wax figure was used for promotional pictures of The Five Doctors.
Exhibits included wax reproductions of:
