Museum of Science | Omni Theater

Boston, MA

When the Museum of Science undertook a major upgrade of its Omni Theater projection system, LDa was engaged to design the interior improvements to the theater, lobby, and support spaces. The project marked the museum’s transition from its original 1984 film-based projector to a state-of-the-art digital format.

Design for generations

This technological advancement was matched by a transformation of the public spaces, ensuring they will serve the museum for decades to come. Updates included new finishes and seating, along with enhanced universal access to the lobby and theater, creating an inclusive experience for all visitors.

Space for all occasions

In addition to supporting the theater, the lobby also functions as an event venue, requiring a more sophisticated finish palette and adaptable lighting to accommodate a wide range of adult and family gatherings. The installation of the new projector demanded close technical coordination with museum vendors to ensure a seamless opening day.
