Áróra
Closing Soon! Extended through Sunday, March 2nd!
Explore the beauty of the Northern Lights in the digital dome planetarium experience, "Áróra!" This immersive cinematic journey takes guests across remote Icelandic landscapes and into space to find and understand these mystical, eerie lights.
During this award-winning show created by some of Iceland’s best-known scientists, writers, photographers and musicians, you will not only witness the beauty of the aurora above Earth, but also explore how these stunning displays of colors have also been seen on other planets and moons throughout our galaxy.
If you were lucky enough to see the aurora here in SC recently, the return of this show creates a special chance to revisit that experience and explore the origins of the Northern Lights! "Áróra" also highlights how various communities across the world have tried to make sense of the Northern Lights by incorporating them into their folktales and mythology. This season, guests can join the dance of these mystical lights over the cold winter skies of Iceland from the comfort of the State Museum.
Showtimes are valid through the end of the current month.
Due to increased demand we have added extra showtimes on Saturday and Sunday through March 2nd.
PLEASE NOTE: Capacity is still limited and shows can sell out. Advance ticket purchase is encouraged.
