Cosmonova, Planetarium and IMAX theatre at Swedish Museum of Natural History in Norra Djurgården, Sweden
Description
Cosmonova is a planetarium and IMAX cinema with a large dome-shaped screen located in the Norra Djurgården area within the Swedish Museum of Natural History. The venue displays films about space exploration, nature, and scientific discoveries across its entire hemispheric surface.
History
The facility opened in October 1992 as Sweden's first IMAX cinema and the third such venue in the Nordic region at that time. This established the site as a pioneer in large-format immersive film technology across northern Europe.
Culture
Visitors experience the dome as a window to distant worlds, with families and school groups gathering to witness space and nature on a scale that fills their entire field of vision. The immersive format turns watching documentaries into a shared moment rather than passive entertainment.
Practical
Tickets can be purchased online or at the venue for multiple daily screenings with varying content and duration. Planning your visit in advance helps you choose the right showing for your interests and schedule.
Did you know?
The dome employs a specialized IMAX projection system that creates seamless imagery across the entire interior surface, surrounding viewers with unbroken visuals from edge to edge. This technical approach ensures consistent image quality without visible seams or disruptions.
