Come Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the original movie release.

ET phone replicaCome see Bell Labs’ exact replica of the “phone” used on the original movie set.  And enjoy related programs including Blu-ray movie screenings and your chance to win your own copy.

Hollywood may have made the movie, but truth be told E.T.’s communicator was devised right here in New Jersey.  Following its film’s debut in 1982, an exact replica was donated by Bell Labs to the Newark Museum.  Here’s your chance to relive this endearing tale of E.T. with your children and your friends.
