of the last appearances of the Mothership was at Woodstock 1999. Since 1999, the landing of the Mothership has been strictly metaphoric. The replica Mothership found a new home in 2011 when the Smithsonian Institution acquired it by moving it from Clinton's recording studio in Tallahassee, Florida, after the original could not be located. The concert prop started as a symbol of "what could be" and is now located in the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Replicas In 2021, the Oakland Museum of California constructed a replica of the spacecraft as part of its exhibition, Mothership: Voyage Into Afrofuturism. In its announcement of the exhibit, running from August 7, 2021 to February 27, 2022, the museum said, "Experience a replica of the Mothership itself— musician George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic’s Afrofuturistic vessel—to relax in an otherworldly video installation, a curated playlist by DJ Spooky, and more."
