About

The Hooker Furniture Theater features CineMuse high-definition digital short programs about science and nature.  Video presentations of this quality greatly enhance the visitor experience by giving audiences the impression that they are looking through a glass window and experiencing, first hand, the events that occur on the screen.  A new show, typically 15-30 minutes long, is shown in the Theater on a regular basis.

The theater seats 32 people, with open space for wheelchair seating. It also boasts a visible screen size nearly 10 feet wide and 5 feet high.  Scroll down to view a listing of films shown, as well as our current screening schedule. 

*View CineMuse programs at no extra cost - access to the Hooker Furniture Theater is included in the regular Museum admission charge.
