\u201cCome, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn\u2019t matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come.\u201d
-Rumi<\/p>\n

The Museum of Science and Innovation<\/a> (MOSI) is hosting an immersive 360\u00b0 experience featuring the poetry of Rumi. The experience will take place in MOSI\u2019s Holloway Digital Dome Theatre<\/a>, a 360\u00b0 high-resolution fulldome projection where the fantastical light show will be displayed. The first night of shows, each running about 42 minutes, is already sold out. Tickets remain for the Friday, August 14 shows, which you can find here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For poetry enthusiasts and Rumi fans, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience one of the most renowned poets to ever live. Rumi\u2019s verses, read aloud in Farsi with English subtitles, will guide the otherworldly visual experience. MOSI is calling it an invitation to \u201can unseen realm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show is open to all ages, and the theatre is wheelchair accessible. The show is 42 minutes long, in addition to a short introduction. Seating is first-come, first-served, so get there before the show starts to grab your preferred seats. That said, the theatre has a 360\u00b0 display and seats recline, so everyone can get an incredible view.<\/p>\n

\u201cStep into the mystical world of Rumi in Circle of Light: The Love of Rumi & Shams,\u201d MOSI beckons. \u201cThis immersive 360\u00b0 experience is now playing in the Holloway Digital Dome Theatre. Visuals, music, and poetry work to transport audiences through ancient Persia. It highlights the timeless wisdom of one of history\u2019s most celebrated poets.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience is another example of how the museum turns science, literature and ingenuity into interactive (and educational) entertainment. For those who may have never visited the MOSI, the museum, located at 4801 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, is a \u201cscientific playground\u201d built around interactive exhibits that encourage fun, engaging learning. It\u2019s one of Tampa\u2019s most unique experiences, and for families with kids, an incredible way to introduce them to the wonder of science and knowledge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
