i think an IMAX theatre would not only be forward thinking, but would bring in new people and new revenue to the SMWVA.

There is already a large format theatre in the museum, and they aren't going to switch to an imaxdome. A resurfacing of the planetarium dome would make the MegaDome Projector look better though. :)

The Science Museum is exploring options for the reinvention of the museum and the renovation of Center in the Square. Anything is possible. :) Although the museum currently shows large format films in the Hopkins Planetarium (not IMAX), the museum is preparing for a dramatic transformation that will include an updated or brand new planetarium and theatre.

Science Museum of Western Virginia The Science Museum of Western Virginia will open its doors free of charge this Saturday September 19, thanks to support from the Verizon Foundation. In addition to the opportunity to explore the Museum's 40,000 square feet of interactive exhibits, Verizon Saturday Science will feature special programs conducted by scie...nce professionals from the area.

NEW! bigMouth is back! bigMouth, the beloved giant, anatomically correct model of the human mouth, has returned to the Science Museum from a six-month visit in New York City for a complete makeover. While the original bigMouth boasted a perfect set of teeth, the new mouth is ridden with cavities, gingivitis and a myriad of other oral heath issues to demonstrate the consequences of poor oral health care and to teach the steps to good oral health. Additionally, bigMouth now has a computerized, interactive component that can be updated to keep the exhibit relevant and interesting.

ONE LAST THING -- Don't miss the animatronic dinosaur hiding behind the trees between the Geology gallery and the Body Tech gallery!

General museum admission is free during Verizon Saturday Science. Planetarium and Megadome show admission is $3 per person per show.

Check out the new bigMouth and a giant dinosaur for FREE this Saturday!
