The new planetarium shines bigger and brighter than before, expanding in area by more than three times and incorporating all kinds of high-tech gadgetry, interactive exhibits and educational programs. The centrepiece is the Large Star Hall (the biggest in Europe!), with its 25m silver dome roof, a landmark which is visible from the Garden Ring. There are two observatories, the larger of which (aka the Big Observatory) employs Moscow’s largest telescope.
In addition to the traditional planetary attractions, the new facility includes an innovative interactive exhibit called the Lunarium , where visitors can perform experiments and witness the laws of nature in action.
