Cincinnati Museum Center reflects on legacy of 罗伯特D. 林德纳,老.
社区偶像是推动OMNIMAX的力量® 剧院，其他标志性的体验
CINCINNATI – Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) joins family, friends 和 community in mourning the loss of iconic businessman and benefactor 罗伯特D. 林德纳,老.
“自从罗伯特·D. 林德纳家庭影院® 剧院 opened in 1990, Robert was a common visitor. He truly believed in what he made happen with the theater,Dave Duszynski说, vice president of featured experiences at Cincinnati Museum Center. Duszynski还管理着OMNIMAX® 剧院开业以来的运营情况. “Those were the best conversations when he, Betty and I would sit and talk about how the theater technology worked and how OMNIMAX® 制作电影. We’ve always felt the support of Robert and his entire family throughout the 32 years of bringing these special experiences to the people of Cincinnati.”
Lindner is best known as the founder of United Dairy Farmers, Inc., which has delighted ice cream lovers from Cincinnati and beyond for over eight decades. 的 success of UDF led to the founding of American Financial Group. Despite the expanding reach of his and his family’s companies, Lindner always remained focused on serving his hometown. As CMC prepared to move into its new home at 结合终端 in the late 1980s, Lindner funded the development of the OMNIMAX® 剧院 – one of the first in the region and still the only OMNIMAX® 350英里的剧院. 罗伯特·D. 林德纳家庭影院® 剧院 has been a can’t-miss part of any museum visit. Since its opening in 1990, 86 films have been screened to more than 8.九百万观众在全尺寸影院观看® 剧院.
As CMC prepared to celebrate its 25th anniversary inside 结合终端 in 2015, Lindner and UDF helped the city celebrate by handing out free samples of UDF ice cream.
“What began as a conversation between the 自然历史博物馆 和 Historical Society in an effort to preserve 结合终端 has not only saved a Cincinnati icon but has transformed it into a world class institution,——罗伯特·林德纳, Sr. said in 2015 as the museum celebrated its milestone. “的 accomplishments during these 25 years are inspirational and would not have occurred without the overwhelming support of our amazing community.”
Lindner’s passion for CMC’s mission continued with the support of his children. In 2018, UDF supported CMC’s acquisition of a 蛮龙 skeleton – a massive predator of the Late Jurassic. 的 蛮龙 首次亮相CMC 恐龙大厅 in November 2018 and remains the only one of its kind on display in the world.
“For millions of families and schoolchildren there is no better memory than a field trip to see dinosaurs and a film in the 罗伯特D. 林德纳家庭影院® 剧院,” said Elizabeth Pierce, president and CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center. “His legacy will forever be part of our community and Cincinnati Museum Center.”
