More Time-Lapse Videos!

Posted on September 19, 2008 by ftljeremy

We’ve re-tooled the “Day One” video (longer with more detail), and added three more time-lapse videos!  Watch the seats and carpet being removed, the scaffolding being assembled and finally… the 1,000+ individual dome screen tiles coming down.
To view any of these videos, click the green “Time-Lapse Images” tab above, or the link in the left column.

  • What’s Going On?

    On March 10, 1973, the Space Theater at the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center opened to the public, featuring America's first IMAX Theater and the first "tilted dome" planetarium in the world.

    On September 4, 2008, the Space Theater "went dark" for an extreme makeover! New seamless dome screen, new sound system, new seats and much more! Renovations are now complete and the theater reopened on December 13, 2008!

    The theater renovation is part of a $20 million capital campaign, "Creating Possibilities, Inspiring Tomorrow."
