If you missed the recent sightings of the Northern Lights shining above South Carolina, don’t worry — you can experience the mystical colors of aurora borealis up close in Columbia.

“Áróra” — an award-winning cinematic journey across remote Icelandic landscapes in search of these beautiful lights — is now playing inside the South Carolina State Museum’s 55-ft digital dome planetarium. For a limited time, you can immerse yourself in Iceland’s Northern Lights + hear their folktales and mythology.
