IMAX Theater Temporarily Closes For Maintenance

The Clyde W. Tombaugh IMAX Dome Theater will be closed August 19 through August 21 for repairs and maintenance. “We’re sorry for the inconvenience,” said Museum Marketing Director Cathy Harper, “but this is necessary work for the continued enrichment and enjoyment of our audience.” The theater will reopen on Saturday, August 22, and will feature “Sharks” and “Destiny in Space”.
"The stunning images in SHARKS really place you in the middle of the colorful undersea world. Along with incredible shark encounters, audiences get up close with sea lions, are surrounded by huge schools of fish and get so near to manta rays and jellyfish swimming past that they can reach out and touch them! SHARKS isn’t just a movie, it’s an exhilarating experience!” said Harper.
“Destiny in Space” is a showcase of the daily lives of astronauts in space, as they fix instruments and take measurements. The film includes two space shuttle launches and several cargo bay scenes, including an astronaut repairing the Hubble space telescope. CGI recreations of the surface of Venus and Mars are also featured. The film looks at the future of human space exploration and what future generations might accomplish in the years to come.
