Fundraiser seeks to make planetarium out of this world
The Science Museum of Western Virginia has high-tech ambitions for its 36-year-old Hopkins Planetarium.
“We’re excited to finally have a chance to tell everybody about it,” said museum marketing manager Koren Smith. “I think that we’re going to surprise a lot of people who are not going to realize that this is possible because it’s so futuristic.”
