Kaohsiung Astronomical Museum, Astronomical museum in Siaogang District, Taiwan.
The Kaohsiung Astronomical Museum contains exhibits about celestial bodies, space phenomena, and scientific developments in the field of astronomy through multiple display sections.
The museum opened its doors in 2000 as part of Kaohsiung City's initiative to expand scientific education facilities and promote astronomy knowledge in the region.
The facility maintains a 2-meter-diameter constellation map, which stands as the largest Chinese-made astronomical chart in documented history.
Visitors can reach the museum by taking the Kaohsiung MRT to the International Airport Station and walking a short distance to the southwest entrance.
The institution houses a NT$6 million Temma Mewlon 300mm reflector telescope, the most advanced equipment outside Taiwan's research institutes.
