I've only ever been to the dome once. But this was way back in Spring of 2000!!

Can still (But now vaguely) remember walking inside this giant ''body shaped'' exhibition. The best room inside the body IMO, was that goliath sized animatronic beating heart. Now, by today's standards this is old hat and daft. But back then, it was unique and eye opening.

Do some of you on here. Still remember visiting London's Millennium Dome 16 years ago? What did you think of it?

Didn't last long though. But it was good enough for introducing the year 2000.

Yes I went. Still have the souvenir programme somewhere.

At the time I was rather impressed by the enterprise and the exhibition; which was neither optimistic nor pessemistic about the future. Some of the exhibitions were a sort of cross between Disneyland and the Science Museum. They were thought-provoking, if not prescient.

I had no interest in seeing it, even though I used to live just down the road from where it was built. My daughters may have gone with their respective schools, but I can't remember.
