Theater
The Empirical Theater at OMSI is now open.
There’s something magical about a movie house. The dimming lights, the crowd’s hush, the glow of the screen. Now imagine if that magic was fueled by science, creating immersive experiences that teach, motivate and entertain. Doesn’t that sound better? It should. We have Dolby Atmos, after all. This is movie night done right.
