The Hague Observatory and Planetarium is the only one of its kind in Europe. It offers visitors the chance to discover the fascinating world of astronomy.
The Space Museum Centre: After retracing the Big Bang, the Space Museum Centre invites you to explore the galaxies and discover the solar system. The sun can be observed through a special telescope which sends back a direct image. Science is combined with art in a fresco highlighted by a sound and light show taking us on a tour of the moon. Discover two hemispheres, each 3 metres in diameter, which represent the planet Earth, showing its surface and its different internal layers.
Travel through the history of astronomy in the astronomy gallery; where Galileo appears surrounded by observation instruments. The observatory also shows how satellites link the Earth with space and reveals the secrets of a metereological station. View a slide show of the most beautiful photos of the sky. A planetarium seating 80 people offers a selection of shows during which visitors can admire millions of stars and constellations. The position and movements of planets and satellites can also be observed. A powerful astronomic observatory equipped with a 600mm computerized telescope enables the observer to watch the sky's movements 'live' or recorded on a giant television screen.
