Superman in the Mugar Omni Theater

In this fresh reimagining of the classic superhero story, Clark Kent is portrayed as a 25-year-old reporter at the Daily Planet navigating young professional life in Metropolis, balancing a romantic relationship, and secretly discovering his role as Superman. Then, when a mysterious threat emerges that endangers both Earth and his home planet Krypton’s legacy, Clark must confront who he is and what kind of hero he’s meant to be. Written and directed by James Gunn, Superman (2025) explores the human side of the world’s most powerful hero as he grapples with personal ambition, love, and moral dilemmas. David Corenswet stars as Superman alongside Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as tech-mogul Lex Luthor. Iconic DC characters like Mister Terrific, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, and Green Lantern join the cast in a cinematic experience inspired by a rich canon of comic books. Shot on IMAX-certified cameras and featuring locations from Norway to Atlanta, this film is a visual spectacle meant to be seen on the Museum’s five-story IMAX® Dome screen. Rated PG-13. DC Studios presents a Safran Company Production, A James Gunn Film: Superman.

An Evening with Robin Wall Kimmerer

Best known for her bestselling book Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants, Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to reimagine our relationship with the natural world through the lens of reciprocity, gratitude, and respect. As a celebrated writer and SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology, Kimmerer brings a unique voice to today’s most pressing ecological questions — one rooted in reverence for the Earth and guided by generations of Indigenous knowledge. Her work, including the upcoming The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, challenges us to listen deeply to the oldest teachers on Earth: the plants themselves. This special event, part of the Museum’s yearlong spotlight on Being Human, is an invitation to reflect, reconnect, and reimagine how we live with the land and with each other. Ticket includes a copy of The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World. Presented by Bancel Philanthropies.

Beyond the Telescope: Space Travel in the Milky Way

Join Alyssa Goodman, PhD, professor of applied astronomy at Harvard University and research associate at the Smithsonian Institution, as she takes us on a tour of a Milky Way that she never thought she would see. Until recently, astronomers could only speculate about the three-dimensional structure of the star-forming regions in our Milky Way galaxy. Today, advances in data and data science tools allow us to explore a 3-D Milky Way — and better understand how, where, why, and when stars form. Investigate these questions and more as we expand our knowledge of our place in space — through cutting-edge technology and immersive data visualization in the Charles Hayden Planetarium.

A Conversation with Dean Kamen— Building the Future: Innovation, Impact, and Imagination

Join the Museum of Science for an inspiring evening celebrating its yearlong Being Human spotlight, featuring special guest Dean Kamen. In this fireside conversation, Tim Ritchie, Gwill York President of the Museum of Science, will sit down with Dean Kamen — renowned inventor, founder of DEKA Research and Development, and executive director of the Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing Institute (ARMI) | BioFabUSA — to explore how science and technology are shaping the future of human health. Together, they will examine how breakthrough innovations in regenerative medicine and biomanufacturing lead to real-world impact. The discussion will highlight the work of ARMI and its national ecosystem, including ReGen Valley, and explore how new technologies are accelerating treatments for diseases like type 1 diabetes (T1D) while opening new frontiers in patient care. This evening will offer a powerful look at what it means to build for the future—and how science, imagination, and humanity are at the center of it all.

Utopian Hotline

Presented by ArtsEmerson and the Museum of Science. Part performance, part intergalactic transmission, this special event transforms the Planetarium into a space for radical storytelling beneath the stars — where sound, science, and imagination collide. Inspired by NASA’s 1977 Voyager Golden Record and shaped by voices from our own time, Utopian Hotline invites you to listen, reflect, and envision a future worth reaching for — where real voicemails become a collective vision of tomorrow. Presented by ArtsEmerson and the Museum of Science, this live production from Brooklyn’s Theater Mitu blends voicemail confessions, music, and stunning full-dome visuals inside the iconic Charles Hayden Planetarium.&nbsp; This interstellar collaboration with the SETI Institute and Arizona State University’s Interplanetary Initiative is more than a show — it’s a call to dream together. A bold fusion of science, art, and imagination, the experience unfolds under the stars. Presented in association with Octopus Theatricals and the Museum’s Center for Space Sciences.
