Imagine…it’s 1840, and you’re going to see a magic lantern show to escape to the stars. These magic lantern slides are the precursors to planetariums as we know and love them today! Because these slides are so old, we don’t have technology to properly project them, so what you see here is the creativity and innovation of our collections department.
The Adler Planetarium is the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
