‘Fuselage theater’ arrives at Exploration Place

A key piece of Exploration Place’s “Design, Build, Fly” exhibit arrived to the museum Tuesday morning.

A “fuselage theater,” which was delivered by Spirit AeroSystems on a large flatbed truck, made its arrival at about 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The theater is made up of a 737 fuselage with airplane seats and a screen.

Inside the theater, visitors will watch short videos about aviation research or production processes.

The exhibit won’t actually open to the public until Dec. 2, but visitors can get a glimpse of the theater through Aug. 13 as part of an existing flight exhibit.
