In the basement under the Planetarium was the artist studio. The head artist (a German name which I forget) would work on fantastic highly detailed paintings depicting things like Saturn and other planets for various displays.

As good as he was, these pictures are soo beautiful that they almost seem fake. I wonder if he saw them would he be amazed that he does not have to paint them any more?
