  Was to be a public observatory  Welcomed 70 million  Opened to the public on May 14, 1935  Constructed June 20 th, 1933  Griffith Trust (the governing board for the Griffith estate) enlisted some of the leading astronomers and scientists as the core team planning the construction of Griffith Observatory

  Architects: John C. Austin & Federick M. Ashley  Griffith J. Griffith Welsh: American Industrialist and Philanthropist  Journalist and Real Estate Manager  Shot his wife and went to prison; released from prison 1902  George Ellery Hale: Oversaw development of telescope  Edward Kurth: Drew plans & guided the construction  Russell W. Porter: Aide to Kurth About the People

January 4, 1850 – July 6, 1919

  “Beyond the Visible Light”: Glass wall that reveals how our ability to detect and record radition beyond visible light was the most recent transformation to opening the doorway to our universe.  “Camera Obscura”: Tool that uses mirrors and lenses to focus light on flat surface.  “Hall of the Eye”: Illustrates nature and progress of human observation of sky.
