Opened in 1987, the Museum of Science’s Mugar Onmi Theater was the second IMAX screen to open in the Boston area. It is New England’s only 180° IMAX Dome (Omnimax) cinema. The screen is five stories tall.
The museum presents a variety of large-screen science, nature, and outdoor-adventure films here.

I haven’t been there in decades, but when it first opened I was appalled that they were showing movies that had been shot in IMAX in the incorrect Omni-Max format. The result stretched a flat image across an oval screen, horribly distorting and dimming the image. I don’t know if they’ve found a way around this, but it got to the point where I simply stopped reviewing them so I wouldn’t sound like a broken record every time they opened a new attraction the wrong way.
