Located in MSU's Space Science Center, the Star Theater is unlike anything else in the region. The 100-seat digital theater serves as a classroom and planetarium for the region's educators, MSU students and the community. The Star Theater projects full 180º x 360º real-time blended video and graphics on a 40-foot dome screen with state-of-the-art surround sound. In digital theater mode, the all-dome video allows a broad range of programming, including simulated travel through deep space and the ocean's deepest depths. This experience allows free movement through a 3D universe viewing endless astronomical phenomena, such as comets, planets, and supernovas, with full motion and 3D texturing. Our newly refurbished laser system also projects 3D images on the full dome.

The Kentucky Folk Art Center (KFAC) at Morehead State University is one of Kentucky's special places. Located in the historic Union Grocery, the Center offers much more than a typical museum experience. KFAC houses a permanent collection of nearly 1,400 pieces of self-taught art. Dozens of works from the collection are displayed on a rotating basis in the center’s first-floor gallery. Upon viewing folk art for the first time, many are attracted to its whimsical attributes, and we should take joy in these works as the artists intended. But in many instances, the art you see on the walls at KFAC was born out of hard times. The works displayed here stand as a document of and testament to the common man's concerns, courage, and convictions.
