With a five-story domed screen covering 6532 square feet of projection surface, and 30-degree, stadium seating, the OMNIMAX® Dome Theater is a cinematic experience unlike any other. The theater's IMAX® projection system uses the largest film frame in the motion picture industry. Each frame is ten times the size of standard 35mm film. The large image puts you in the center of the action, while a custom-designed 15,000 watt digital surround sound system produces audio to match the intensity of the visual images.

Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs
Today's Showtimes: 12:00pm, 6:00pm, 8:00pm
What is it about mummies? These preserved human time capsules from ancient Egypt fascinate and intrigue us, but why? Is it because they blur the line between the living and the dead? Or is it because they provide such a powerfully visual window to our ancient past? Whatever the reason, there is little doubt that mummies are some of the world's most spellbinding subjects. And Egypt is one of the most fascinating civilizations, in large part because of the great mummies that have been discovered there in modern times.
