Czech Republic’s first 3D planetarium to launch next month
POSTED 17 Oct 2013 . BY Tom Anstey
The giant domes are housed inside the renovated heritage listed ASAP Skoda cafeteria
Work on the Czech Republic’s first 3D planetarium has been completed at the Techmania Science Centre in Plzen, with an opening date of 4 November.

The planetarium, which cost CZK150m (£4.95m, US$7.98m, €5.8m) to build will include two large domes for education, a laboratory, workshops and clubs, and is housed inside the heritage listed ASAP Skoda cafeteria, built in 1917.

“We have rebuilt a dilapidated building into an ultramodern planetarium where visitors can have the opportunity to learn about physics and astronomy in a fun way,” said Jiri Vlasak of Techmania.

The 3D planetarium will offer 2D and 3D screenings of geographic and astronomic films. NASA-approved films will be screened inside the 14-metre diameter dome, with the same technology being used in only three other institutions in Europe.

An interactive display will also be included, with 27 new exhibits to educate on cosmic phenomenons.
