Novo Theatre, Dhaka, Planetarium in Tejgaon, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Novo Theatre is a planetarium in Tejgaon, a neighborhood of Dhaka, showing astronomical projections on a curved ceiling at a 120-degree angle. The dome measures 21 meters (69 feet) in diameter and holds 275 seats arranged in a semicircular space.

The planetarium was approved in 1997 and built from 2000 to 2003 at a cost of 120 crore taka, opening on 25 September 2004 when Prime Minister Khaleda Zia inaugurated it. It was first called Bhashani Novo Theatre, became autonomous under the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Novo Theatre Bill 2010, and was renamed Novo Theatre by ordinance on 20 March 2025.

The planetarium's shows carry local content: "The ai amader Bangladesh" presents Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's 7 March speech, and "The Grand Canyon" recounts the Garikhad settlement that existed in the Grand Canyon four thousand years ago. Two underground floors display portraits and profiles of leading scientists.

The building sits on Bijoy Sarani Avenue in Tejgaon, with three of its floors below ground and two above; a separate stair on the east side serves visitors with disabilities. The space theatre seats 275 and the ride simulator 30, so the simulator fills quickly. The lower floors hold portraits and profiles of leading scientists.

The building has three storeys below ground and two above; the two underground levels hold portraits and profiles of leading scientists. The main dome is 32 metres in radius and as tall as a five-storey block, and the front carries 14 free-standing Roman columns, seven on each side, each 40 feet high, a reference to the seven stars of the Big Dipper.
