Step inside Shanghai Astronomy Museum, and you’ll find yourself in an extraordinary space – a world-class 420,000-square-foot structure designed by New York-based studio Ennead Architects. This awe-inspiring museum is the largest of its kind in the globe and has been thoughtfully crafted with a celestial theme to reflect the mystery and wonder of outer space.

The curvilinear volume looks like a planet in orbit as guests are welcomed through a magnificent Oculus above the main entry, which impressively tracks the sun across the plaza floor with rays of light. A Sphere within the building wonderfully mimics a floating planet and houses an enchanting planetarium theater. And at the top of its central atrium stands an Inverted Dome proudly with a glass tension structure that offers terrific views of the sky for visitors as they journey along its spiral pathways, taking in all the interactive exhibits on their way around.

Shanghai Astronomy Museum is remarkable for its vast size, groundbreaking design, and intricate details – leaving those fortunate enough to marvel at this marvelous architectural feat feeling infinitely small yet invincibly powerful. With its scientifically advanced yet artistically creative aesthetics, this incredible museum allows us to further explore our understanding of our place in the universe. Its innovative combination of form and function creates an almost surreal atmosphere that is both stimulating and enlightening.

Its captivating visuals combine with engaging activities and fascinating facts to provide an unforgettable experience that genuinely reveals how astonishingly immense our universe really is.
