Mueller Planetarium at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Morrill Hall will light up with laser light shows for one weekend Feb. 14-15.
Brilliant laser graphics and abstract images will fill Nebraska’s first fulldome digital projection theater in two separate shows:
Black History Laser Tribute — Celebrate the profound contributions of African-Americans in an exciting new way. Part history lesson and part uplifting musical revival, the Black History Laser Tribute is a fun, unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages. Transformative historical events such as the formation of the Tuskegee Airmen and Dr. King’s landmark “I Have a Dream” address are brought to life using dazzling lasers. Enjoy toe-tapping musical classics from Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin.
Laser Beatles — Whether a person is in the mood for a mind-warping ride on a yellow submarine or just looking for an excuse to twist and shout, the laser Beatles classic rock laser show has something for everyone. Featuring 15 Beatles classics, such as “Hard Day’s Night,” “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “Yesterday,” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” this is considered by many to be the most spellbinding Beatles laser show ever.
Show admission is $6 for non-member adults, $5 for non-member children and $5 for Friends of the Museum members with ID card plus regular museum admission. Tickets will be sold on a first-come first-served basis the day of the show at the front desk in Morrill Hall.
