The VAST Theater Project in Ely, Nevada, reimagines a 96-year-old landmark as a landscape observatory and celestial exploration hall at the heart of the historic downtown district. More than a building, the VAST is a STEM learning hub as well as a place where cultural voices can be expressed—with Native American perspectives honored through dialogue and collaboration—and a catalyst for Main Street revitalization. It preserves heritage architecture, sparks year-round foot traffic, and orients visitors to the extraordinary landscapes that surround them.

Learn more about this project as it progresses on our blog site or sign up for our newsletter. We’re adding new science and cultural voices as we explore, so watch for updates about their inspiring work as well.

Everywhere is now playing.

The VAST Theater Project is being stewarded by the Muser Collective, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit established to bring community driven science education to the public realm.
