Travelling Exhibit

Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World

This special exhibition from The National GUITAR Museum features hands-on interactives for all ages, video performances, x-ray images of guitars’ inner workings and plenty of opportunities to strum and jam.

New in IMAX

America’s Musical Journey
In America’s musical cities, musical stories come together to create a soundtrack that showcases the nation’s diversity and its collision of cultures, culminating in a unique blend of sound, music and innovation unlike anywhere else in the world.

Into America’s Wild
From the wilds of Alaska to the lush coastline of Oregon, filmmaker Greg MacGillivray explores some of the most beautiful landscapes in North America.
