It's May 4th and in America that means it's Star Wars Day. Get it? May the fourth be with you!
To be clear, I am not a Star Wars fan. I have seen maybe two movies and enjoyed neither. However, I do enjoy pop culture and great art and this US mailbox is a work of art.
It is one of 400 dressed as R2 D2 as part of the 30th anniversary of the movie premiere in 2007. They appeared in all fifty states and Puerto Rico.
This one can be found at the Steven F. Udvar- Hazy Center in Washington DC. It was signed by Star Wars creator George Lucas and Postmaster General John E. Potter before it came here.
By the way, this place houses thousands of aviation and space artifacts including the Space Shuttle Discovery. Admission is free but there is a parking fee and it's well worth a visit if you're in the D.C. area.
