Art&Seek on Think TV: The New Fort Worth Museum of Science & History


by Jerome Weeks 24 Nov 2009 2:47 AM

The new Legorreta + Legorreta-designed Fort Museum of Science and History is open — a major upgrade in the Cultural District. It features a new planetarium, dinosaur exhibitions and mini-museums devoted to cattle, Fort Worth history, energy (basically, the oil and gas industry) and even the science of CSI. We talk with vice president of development Carl Hamm about balancing education with entertainment.

CTA TBD
