The pyramid called IMAX is actually a theatre that uses a screen that is 5 stories tall. We have one in my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. But I have never seen one in the shape of a pyramid before.

Looks a bit artificial with lots of concrete, but the sea and the underwater world looks promising. Great presentation, Edvin!
