## About Shanghai Astronomy Museum

The world's largest planetarium. Its main exhibition areas are divided into three themes: Home, Universe and Journey. The main building is spiral-shaped, resembling 'orbits of celestial bodies'. Its three circular elements, the round skylight, the inverted dome and the dome theatre, form a distinctive 'three-body' structure. Since it opened, tickets have been hard to get. Here you can discover the wonders and rich knowledge of the universe, and enjoy a breathtaking visual experience.
