Expand Your Cultural and Scientific Horizons at the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts in Harrisburg
September 19, 2016 | desouzabrown
Founded as a Harrisburg venue that "promoted science, the arts, and could culturally enrich the downtown area," the Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts made its debut in 1999. Since then, the golden sandstone building, which encompasses 130,000 square feet, has become a beloved local destination for movies, live entertainment, and scientific discovery.
