We are excited to announce that James Hoods #Mesmerica360 is coming to miSci | Museum of Innovation and Science in Schenectady! This truly unique and spectacular new immersive show is set open Friday, August 23, 2024 in the recently upgraded and refurbished planetarium dome. The arrival of Mesmerica follows a recently completed series of upgrades to the planetarium including new projector, projection equipment, sound system, as well as seating upgrades. The renovation was made possible by grants from the Schenectady County Metroplex Development Authority, the Bender Scientific Fund, and the Niskayuna Community Foundation.
