Space Museum launches new Omnimax show "National Parks Adventure" (with photos)
*******************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Space Museum's new Omnimax show, "National Parks Adventure", will be launched tomorrow (September 1). The film shows the audience the breathtaking landscapes of national parks in the United States by following the footsteps of world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker and two other adventurers, and explores what national parks mean to people.
 
     The national parks not only contain spectacular scenery and display the results of nature conservation, but also offer a place for seeking excitement, purifying minds and creating artworks. The audience will witness the family ties between Anker and Max Lowe, the son of Anker's deceased climbing partner and now his stepson. At the same time, the audience will also see the friendship among the two of them and a young artist, Rachel Pohl.
 
     The show was filmed in more than 30 national parks in the United States. When viewing the film on the dome screen at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre, members of the audience may feel as if they are inside Yellowstone National Park or at Devils Tower, in addition to appreciating the magnificent work of nature.
 
     The 43-minute show will be screened until February 28 next year at the museum's Stanley Ho Space Theatre. It will be screened daily at 1.30pm, 5pm and 8.30pm.
 
     Tickets priced at $24 (front stalls) and $32 (stalls) are available at the Hong Kong Space Museum Box Office and URBTIX (www.urbtix.hk). The museum is closed on Tuesdays (except public holidays).
  
     The Hong Kong Space Museum is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. For further information, please call 2721 0226 or visit the website at hk.space.museum.
