Palais de l'univers et des sciences de Cappelle-la-Grande, Science museum in Cappelle-la-Grande, France

The Palais de l'Univers et des Sciences is a science museum in Cappelle-la-Grande featuring multiple exhibition halls covering physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy. Each space includes hands-on displays where visitors can conduct simple experiments and watch demonstrations.

The museum began as a planetarium in 1989 and expanded with new exhibition spaces in 1997 before undergoing complete renovation and reopening in 2009. This transformation allowed for modern displays and contemporary scientific presentations.

The planetarium hosts more than 25 sessions for audiences from age 5, each pairing a 25- to 40-minute film with a guided description of the starry sky. Workshops in biology, astronomy and geology are mostly aimed at children, with some sessions reserved for adults.

The planetarium seats up to 117 people and runs more than 25 sessions for audiences from age 5, each pairing a 25- to 40-minute film with a guided tour of the starry sky. Five 4K projectors cover the whole dome for 360° shows. Allow time for the exhibition halls as well as a session.

A special exhibition called 'Mission Zero' demonstrates interactively how the Dunkirk region plans to achieve carbon neutrality. This project connects science with local sustainability goals in a practical and understandable way.
