Theatres
Milton Keynes also has theatres and museums. The 1,400-seat Milton Keynes Theatre first opened its doors in 1999. The theatre, designed by architects Blonski-Heard with Kut Nadiadi and Robert Doe, used cutting-edge construction techniques and some of the most technologically advanced technology available.
