Fuller Dome Home Museum Video Guide

Fuller Dome Home Museum Video Guide

I had the opportunity to visit the Buckminster Full Dome Home in Carbondale and tour the now-museum home. I was also able to interview the President and vice president of the board that supports the Fuller Dome Home Museum.

What You’ll See at the Fuller Dome Home

When you visit the Fuller Dome Home Museum in Carbondale, this is what you can expect to experience:

  • See one of the first geometrical dome homes in the nation that likely inspired many other dome homes like it.
  • The museum features a diverse collection of artifacts to enjoy. Bucky had quite an extensive library of books as well.
  • A fascinating story around Bucky and the dome home by the Museum board and staff members.
