The Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum
The Adler Planetarium & Astronomy Museum — America's First Planetarium — was founded in 1930 by Chicago business leader Max Adler. The museum is home to two full-size planetarium theaters, including the world's first all-digital projection StarRider Theater and one of the world's most important antique instrument collections. Come and explore the newest exhibit, Shoot for the Moon. This permanent exhibition highlights the exciting stories of space exploration and America's bold plans to return to the Moon. The exhibition begins with A Journey with Jim Lovell, featuring the fully restored Gemini 12 spacecraft and the Lovell Collection of personal space artifacts.
