“As the child of a mathematics professor and a Christian church organist, I’ve always been fascinated with the interplay between science and religion-two different languages attempting to answer life’s most profound questions,” said Brown. The story, however, was inspired long before that by Brown’s childhood visits to the Museum. The 30-minute film, opening November 11 at the Charles Hayden Planetarium, is a result of a unique collaboration between Brown and the Museum over the last four years. Today, the Museum of Science, Boston announced the date for the premiere of its new Planetarium film, God, Science, and Our Search for Meaning, written and narrated by international bestselling author Dan Brown. He lives in New England with his yellow lab, Winston.īrown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going? He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history spiking tourism to Paris and Rome a growing membership in secret societies the ire of Cardinals in Rome eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it a flood of historical thrillers and a major motion picture franchise.”

Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.

Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars.
