Discover more about Planetarium De Reims

The Planetarium De Reims, located in the heart of Reims, is a gateway to the universe, offering visitors an unforgettable journey through space and time. As the second oldest planetarium in France, it has been a cultural and scientific landmark since its establishment in 1979. The original planetarium, housed in the Old Jesuit College, operated from 1980 to 2013, welcoming countless visitors to explore the wonders of astronomy. The planetarium moved to a new, modern facility in September 2013. The elliptical building, designed by architect Jean-Paul Bonnemaisson, is a striking structure that evokes the spirit of space exploration. Its glass skin reflects light, creating a stunning visual effect, especially at night when constellations are projected onto its surface. Inside, the planetarium features a cutting-edge projection system that brings the night sky to life. The main attraction is the hemispherical projection room, equipped with a Zeiss ZKP4 astronomical projector with optical fibers, capable of displaying over 6,000 stars. Multimedia systems complement the projector, showcasing images from the world's most powerful telescopes and space probes. Knowledgeable presenters lead engaging sessions, catering to a wide range of audiences. In addition to the shows, visitors can explore interactive exhibits that offer hands-on learning experiences. The planetarium also houses Jean Legros' astronomical clock, a unique piece in France that indicates the positions of stars and planets, and even calculates eclipses. The Planetarium De Reims hosts workshops and lectures, fostering a community of space enthusiasts.
