Astronomical Museum with Planetarium
Astronomical Museum with Planetarium, Space science museum and planetarium in EUR district, Rome, Italy.
The Astronomical Museum in Rome displays planetary models, meteorite samples, and historic brass instruments across its exhibition halls. The dome with digital projectors forms the heart of the facility and enables the representation of celestial objects and cosmic phenomena.
Its founding in 1928 marked the opening of a planetarium outside Germany and set new standards for astronomical education in Europe. The building was later expanded and equipped with modern projection technology.
The museum presents astronomical shows, conferences, and educational programs that connect visitors to the mysteries of space through scientific demonstrations.
Visits are scheduled for specific days, so checking current hours ahead is wise. The site is reachable by public transport and offers parking for visitors.
The planetarium features advanced Sky Explorer software and laser projectors that create immersive space journeys across a 300-square-meter hemispherical screen.
