Description

Information

The planetarium is the right place to learn about the cosmos and its history. With 20 years’ experience, it organises concerts under the stars, exhibitions, stargazing events guided by experts, and many other activities. The goal is always the same: to unveil the secrets of the Universe in fun, entertaining ways.

The Madrid Planetarium reopened in 2017, after being refurbished with the latest technology thanks to an agreement signed by the City of Madrid and La Caixa Foundation. As a result of the renovation, the new Planetarium features new exhibition areas and a modern, high-quality screening system endowed with powerful astronomy software for an amazing journey through the Universe.

In its screening room, the Planetarium offers several full-dome shows where the spectators feel surrounded by the sky and its heavenly bodies. The result is an awesome immersive experience. The Megastar 2 projector delivers top optical quality in its live sky footage.
