ProAV: Real world solutions for AV professionals

Under the Dome

Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry is known for its innovative programming and exhibits. When the Henry Crown Space Center was added to the museum in July 1986, it included a simulated space station, artifacts from the Apollo 8 and Aurora 7 Mercury missions, as well as the city's only five-story domed Omnimax Theater (recently rebranded as IMAX Dome). Today, the Museum of Science and Industry is one of the busiest museums in the country, with more than 1.6 million visitors in 2007.
