An indoor sky comparable to none, The Boston Globe, October 1958.

In designing the new museum at Science Park,
the museum administration partnered with The Charles Hayden Foundation,
a philanthropic group founded by a Boston born businessman Charles Hayden.
The foundation was and still is dedicated to creating educational opportunities for
youth in Boston and New York City.
Beginning in the 1940s, the Hayden Foundation has funded
a number of the museum's summer programs and special classes.
When construction of the planetarium began, the Hayden Foundation were the main
supporters, ultimately providing half the cost of the $1 million project.
On October 20, 1958, the Charles Hayden Planetarium officially
opened its doors as New England's theater of the skies.
From it's beginning, the Charles Hayden Planetarium
has utilized cutting edge technology in it's presentation.
The first audiences, in the 1950s,
saw dynamic star presentations from the Korkosz projector,
locally built by two engineers, brothers John and Frank Korkosz.
As the years progressed, slide and
video projectors were added to improve the planetarium's display capabilities.
In 1970, the Hayden Foundation stepped in once again to fund the purchase of a new
Zeiss Model VI Projector which remained in use as the theater's workhorse for
the next 40 years.

In 2010, the planetarium vaulted into the digital age,
replacing its slide projectors with a 4K digital projection system and
a new Zeiss Starmaster projector.
The Hayden Foundation continued their fundamental support by providing the funds
to purchase the Zeiss Starmaster which is still in use today.

Along with technological upgrades, the scientific content and
education in the planetarium is always being updated too.
From it's first days, the planetarium staff has created its own shows.
Now advanced digital technologies allow the planetarium staff to design and
animate shows that provide award winning narratives about new discoveries and
developments in Space.
In addition to its traditional educational content, the planetarium also provides
novel experiences through its immersive science lectures

With leading astronomy researchers, original full down music shows,
and pioneering collaborations with artists and
performers that push the boundaries of what's possible in a planetarium.
More than 400 unique shows have been developed in this planetarium and
shared with schools and museums around the world.
Today more than 13 million visitors have attended programs in
a Charles Hayden Planetarium.
With every advancement, education remains at the heart of the planetarium's mission.
And after 60 years, it continues to thrive as a venereal Boston landmark.
An indoor sky, comparable to none.
