Based on the crowds we are currently experiencing, I'd say any of the Body
Worlds exhibits could fit your definition. (We currently have Body Worlds
3).
It seems that many of the big "blockbuster" traveling exhibits are the ones
that generate high levels of anticipation, such as Body Worlds, Titanic,
and King Tut, but that may speak more to the extensive, high-profile
marketing that often accompanies those exhibits. Given that, I'm not sure
I would consider that an exhibit being "highly anticipated" necessarily
means that it is "spectacular". Just my two cents.

Dear Colleagues,
I am working on a Masters Thesis project to find out if there is a
formula for making exhibits "spectacular." In order to determine a few
exhibits that I could use as case studies, I need your help. I would
greatly appreciate your time in answering the below question:
Have you ever experienced an exhibit that can be described as "a highly
impressive, highly anticipated exhibit that provides visitors with an
experience that arouses feelings of awe and wonder"? If so, please send
me the names of three.
Warm Regards,
Charity
