The Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium will include two immersion theatres, hosting multimedia shows using the latest technology. They will each be housed in a circular structure resembling a telescope peering out at the Universe, and will offer unique experiences for visitors. One will appeal to their minds, and the other to their emotions.
The first show, designed by Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon, will be presented in the first theatre when the Planetarium opens, in spring 2013. This poetic, immersive experience will take visitors on a voyage through space lasting about 20 minutes, transporting them from a world on a human scale to the infinitely large and then back to the infinitely small.
The second theatre will host a more scientific show, beneath the starry dome. This time visitors themselves will choose the destination of their journey! The show, with live commentary, will appeal to their minds and senses as they explore the constellations.
The permanent exhibition: Learning about the Universe
The Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium's permanent exhibition room will be the ideal place to discover the cosmos. Visitors will be able to admire the meteorite collection displayed in the geology laboratory.
This discovery space will have a “library” of interactive multimedia terminals, with spherical screens and spaceship-like walls. Their constantly updated content will make them the perfect tools for visitors looking to learn more about astronomy. They can also try out a space flight simulator and see how it feels to be a weightless astronaut in space!
