Can’t read the article, but immensely curious how it ended up where it was.

It should go to the Smithsonian and be restored and displayed. Or maybe leave it as is, I dunno, what ever they think is best.

That’s weird, I could have sworn I saw it on display at Seattle’s Sci-Fi Museum, along with the original captain’s chair, many years ago. Was there a third model? The one I saw was quite small, hanging up in a rather dimly-lit corner. The museum is now the Museum of Pop Culture and has changed a lot, and though they had a big Star Trek exhibit when I was last there, I don’t recall seeing that little TOS Enterprise again.
