Ostrava planetarium

Ostrava Planetarium is an astronomical facility in the city with modern projection equipment and observation areas located at approximately 275 meters elevation. The complex includes spaces for sky projections and scientific exhibitions designed for exploration and learning.

The facility was founded in 1980 by the Faculty of Mining and Geology at VSB Technical University to advance space education in the region. Its establishment reflected the city's role as a center for technical and scientific development.

The planetarium serves the community as a space where astronomy connects with art and performance, making science accessible through creative expression. This approach draws people of different interests to explore the cosmos together.

Visitors can join guided tours through the observation areas and attend expert talks about astronomy and celestial objects. Access is well organized and the best times to visit are evenings or on moonless nights.

The facility connects observations of the sky with studies of underground geological processes, showing how Earth sciences relate to space exploration. This integrated approach is uncommon and makes the place interesting for curious visitors.
