Our newly renovated theater now includes new seats, a new screen and hearing assist devices available upon request at the information desk. All theater programming is included with museum admission. The Anderson Theater features a rotation of short films, documentaries, and ballooning adventure highlights. During special events this theater also serves as an educational space featuring talks and demonstrations by field experts, and our museum collections team. Theater seats are available on a first come, first serve basis. Thank you to New Mexico True and the Anderson family for making this possible.
