Description
Inside the sphere, the darkened dome theater runs features like Encounters in the Milky Way, transportive enough to make the museum walls disappear. But the experience outside the main screen is mixed: while the architecture of the Rose remains striking, some of the surrounding space exhibits are slightly dated. For those looking to dive into astronomy, it remains a venue where you can learn by doing, listening, or watching.
