Raman Science Centre

The Raman Science Centre is a science museum in Nagpur where visitors can explore interactive galleries and hands-on displays about the natural world. The building includes a planetarium for shows about space and sky, plus an area showing models of prehistoric animals from different time periods.

The museum was founded in 1992 and named after Indian physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, known worldwide for his scientific contributions. The planetarium feature was added later and has been showing the night sky to visitors for decades since its opening.

The center is named after Nobel Prize physicist Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and serves as a place where young people in the city connect with science through hands-on discovery. Visitors are introduced to everyday phenomena that science explains, making learning feel natural and accessible.

The museum is located near Gandhi Sagar Lake and easy to reach from central Nagpur with regular opening hours throughout the week. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the different galleries, and check show times for the planetarium as these change regularly.

The center features a special park area with life-sized models of prehistoric animals that show how life on Earth has changed over time. This display helps visitors imagine how different creatures looked and moved millions of years ago.
