The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk will begin construction of a 4D movie theater and replacement exhibits sometime later this year and in 2019, part of the aquarium’s advance response to the rebuilding of an adjacent railroad bridge. As part of the changes, the IMAX theater (Connecticut’s largest) will close for good sometime in 2019, seals will get a much larger tank, some exhibits will be moved permanently and others closed temporarily. — an announcement from the Maritime Aquarium, edited by Darienite.com. As frequently happens with major construction projects with a lot of different steps depending on other steps, timing of various elements of the changes is pretty fluid. The schedule has changed in the last two months and may well change again.
