Shanghai Astronomy Museum

Shanghai Astronomy Museum, which opened on July 18, 2021, is located in the Lingang area of Pudong District, Shanghai, China. With an exhibition area of over 38,000 square meters, it is the largest astronomy museum in the world. The main building of the museum was designed by Ennead Architects from New York, USA, without using straight lines or right angles to reflect the shapes and movements of the universe. This design was inspired by the fundamental laws of astrophysics. The museum is divided into three main zones: 'Home,' 'Universe,' and 'Journey.' Visitors can experience a simulated sun, solar system, and zero-gravity conditions, just like exploring space. Getting there: The museum is located on the shore of Dishui Lake in Lingang. You can take Metro Line 16 to Dishui Lake Station, Exit 4, and then walk about 500 meters to the museum, or take a taxi (Didi) for about 10 minutes.

Shanghai Astronomy Museum is a must-visit for those interested in astronomy and space. With its unique design and fascinating exhibitions, it is highly recommended for anyone visiting Shanghai.
