The Omni IMAX theater at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History is getting a $20-million overhaul. NBC 5’s Evan Anderson has more.
"So the footprint will remain the same, but we're going to take everything from the inside out if you will, and it will go to an all-new digital 8K LED dome. 8K. Which is at the limit of what your eye can see from distance," said Tammy McKinney, Vice President of Development and Marketing at the museum."So when you think about your 4K TV in your home this will be 8K, so the clarity and the brightness will do something that you almost just cannot imagine.
"We will be the first here in the country and the world that will have something like this in a theatre this large. And the experience again, that people will have when they come here to see a documentary and to see the films that we will show here, and the videos, will be tremendous," said Orland Carvalho, Interim President of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History.
The hope is that construction will begin in the Spring. Once started, it will be an 18-month project.
