The National Museum of Natural Sciences, located in Madrid, is one of the most important natural science research institutes in Spain. Its fields range from climate change and biodiversity to palaeobiology.
The Chamberí district is home to one of the oldest natural history museums in Europe and the most important in Spain. Since its foundation in 1771 by King Charles III with the acquisition of the collection of the enlightened Pedro Franco Dávila, and the creation in 1776 of the Royal Cabinet of Natural History, which allowed the institution to increase its holdings, it has held scientific and didactic collections that have supported research and the dissemination of natural sciences.
Many of its collections are permanent, such as 'Minerals, fossils and human evolution', 'Biodiversity' or 'The Royal Cabinet'; others are temporary and aim to bring the sciences closer to the younger public. Discover the history of the most lively science in the heart of Madrid.
The Madrid Planetarium was inaugurated in 1986 and soon became a major reference in the spreading of astronomy, science and educational research. It is located inside the Tierno Galván park and recently, during 2016 and 2017, it underwent a thorough renovation of both technology and its facilities.
Always with the aim of contributing to the dissemination of astronomy and science in general, both among schoolchildren and among the public of any age and condition, it has a varied offer of audiovisual projections, exhibitions and activities in the field of scientific spreading (workshops, courses, conferences, public observations...).
Come to the Planetarium to discover a universe of constantly renewed projections. Come and gaze upon the stars!
