The State Museum will be the first organization in the nation to allow students and teachers to remotely control a digitized vintage telescope for distance education purposes. The State Museum is one of the few examples – and potentially the largest example – of an astronomy/STEM education facility connected to an interdisciplinary museum. Royal Observatory, Greenwich (London, UK) – Royal Observatory Greenwich has public programs with their telescope a few days a month during the winter ONLY. No night programs!Īdler Planetarium (Chicago, IL) – Much of Adler Planetarium’s astronomy history collection is not on public display. Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (Washington, DC) – National Air and Space Museum’s observatory is used in the daytime only. The telescope collection, combined with the observatory and planetarium, puts the State Museum in a league with other major astronomy/informal science education centers. The Bob Ariail telescope collection is the best collection of historic American refracting telescopes in the world.
The State Museum remains committed to it mission to engage, educate and inspire the lives of the people of South Carolina state and now, travelers from beyond our borders. The State Museum is adding value and content to what is already considered one of the greatest museums in the Southeast.
4D THEATER WASHINGTON DC PLUS
The expanded and renovated South Carolina State Museum will be the first of its kind in the United States to have under one roof an on-site and online observatory and classroom, 55- foot digital planetarium dome and theater, 4D multisensory theater, plus an outdoor telescope viewing terrace and distance learning education capabilities.
