Max Schreier Planetarium, Planetarium in La Paz, Bolivia.
Max Schreier Planetarium is a stargazing facility in La Paz with a 6-meter dome where projection systems display the night sky. The viewing space holds about 30 people and uses both digital and analog projection methods.
The facility opened in 1976 as Nova III Planetarium and received its current name in 1978 to honor Max Schreier, its founder and first director. This name change marked an important moment in the history of astronomy education in La Paz.

The facility is located on Federico Zuazo Street and shows presentations for small groups of about 30 people, creating an intimate experience with the sky displays. Visitors should keep in mind the compact size and dress warmly, as the indoor temperature is kept cool.
The facility houses a collection of roughly 50 meteorite specimens from different parts of the world that visitors can see up close. These stones tell stories of space events and are part of the scientific work taking place here.
