About
Giant screen theater: The Putnam's giant screen theater offers educational and topical films and presentations. Examples include Volcanoes 3D, Oceans: Our Blue Planet 3D, Wild Africa 3D and the World Adventure Series. The films and presentations allow viewers to see nature in all its glory, to learn about history and other cultures, and to travel to all parts of the world. In an era when environmental awareness is part of the daily conversation and global cultures are increasingly interacting via technology, films that enlighten and educate the public about a variety of environments and cultures are significant to our ability to co-exist productively.
