Planetarium Shanghai (a branch of Shanghai Science and Technology Museum) is located in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Lingang New Area and is the largest planetarium in the world. Its architecture is designed with the concept of "connecting people and the universe," cleverly simulating celestial orbits through smooth curves and circular skylights, integrating astronomical observation functions into the building itself.
The total building area of the exhibition hall is about 38,000 square meters, with the main exhibition area including three core chapters: "Home," "Universe," and "Journey." Visitors start from the familiar solar system ("Home"), delve into the mysteries of the universe's space-time structure, gravity, and dark matter ("Universe"), and finally review the grand history of human exploration of the universe and look forward to the future ("Journey"). The museum houses about 70 precious meteorite samples and more than 120 antique astronomical instruments from different civilizations and eras.
With its futuristic architectural form, immersive narrative experience, and rich precious collections, Planetarium Shanghai has become not only an important scientific landmark in Shanghai and China but also a world-class popular science palace that inspires the public, especially young people, to be curious about and love cosmic science.
