COSI closed on September 6th, 1999. Its last day was treated as a celebration. As the time to close neared, a closing ceremony was conducted in the Pendulum lobby. Speeches were made. The pendulum was stopped. A final show was given to us as hydrogen filled balloons were popped in spectacular colors. Finally the old COSI closed forever.
The pictures with an "a" next to them were taken by Jennie Keplar, a former COSI volunteer. Thanks Jennie. The others were taken by my family on COSI's last day.
