Sure, you've heard about Strataca and know that it is one of the only salt mines in the U.S. that allows visitors... but did you know that it also houses an incredible collection of some of Hollywood's most prized screenplays, film reels and memorabilia?
How did this underground collection come to be? Because of the location's consistent temperatures and humidity, Underground Vaults & Storage purchased 26-acres worth of secured space from the Hutchinson Salt Company, and stores everything from important medical records to government charts to precious film memorabilia from some of Hollywood's most beloved films. Since most of the collection is inaccessible to visitors, Underground Vaults & Storage set up a special collection for the public, which includes:
Actual film costumes worn by George Clooney...
George Clooney portrayed Batman in "Batman and Robin."
...Arnold Schwarzenegger...
Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed Mr. Freeze in "Batman and Robin."
...Cameron Diaz...
Cameron Diaz portrayed Natalie Cook in "Charlie's Angels 2."
...Michael Keaton...
Michael Keaton portrayed Jack Frost in "Jack Frost."
...and even a few costumes from the Will Ferrell comedy, "Talladega Nights."
In addition to costumes, the public exhibit also displays props from "The Matrix"...
..."Ali"...
...and the "Men in Black" franchise.
If this movie memorabilia is all on display for the public to see, what's hiding within the secured area? For starters, they have the original film negatives for The Wizard of Oz, Ben Hur, and Gone with the Wind...
