Perm Planetarium

The Perm Planetarium is a facility with multiple exhibition halls and a central dome theater equipped with advanced projection systems for astronomical shows. The building contains several screening rooms designed to present different types of presentations about the sky and space.

Construction of the facility began in 1960 and it opened on April 12, 1968 during a period when interest in space exploration was growing worldwide. The building emerged at a time when many countries were expanding their space programs.

The facility runs educational programs for all ages where visitors learn about space through hands-on demonstrations and shows tailored to different groups. These sessions help people of all backgrounds develop an interest in astronomy and science.

The facility is located in the Motovilikhinsky District and is accessible by public transport or personal vehicle. Advance booking is recommended since sessions fill up quickly, particularly during weekends and school holidays.

The facility maintains a notable collection of historical telescopes and astronomical instruments that visitors can use to observe the night sky directly. Through these tools, people can see real celestial bodies like the moon and planets with their own eyes.
