J. Watumull Planetarium Poster - "See Hawai'i's Sky"
Quality color printed on 80lb matte stock
Dimensions: 11 inches x 17 inches

The Planetarium first opened its doors in December 1961. Optimism about space exploration inspired the mid-century modern era’s “space-age” design and increased interest in the skies. In Hawaiʻi, the stars hold a special significance as celestial navigation was used by Polynesian voyagers to travel the ocean. With the Planetarium’s 60th anniversary this year, this poster’s design honors its past and celebrates its future.
