Here are a couple examples of guide maps given to
visitors, from the late 1980s, for Pittsburgh's
original Buhl Planetarium and Institute of Popular
Science [a.k.a. in the 1980s as "Buhl Science
Center"]. The Buhl Planetarium and
Institute of Popular Science operated as Pittsburgh's
primary planetarium and physical sciences museum from
1939 through 1991, and as a tutorial center for
Carnegie Science Center science and computer classes
from 1991 through 1994.
