The Planetario is located ion the eastern part of the Plaza Vieja, on the Mercaderes street , between the Muralla and the Teniente Rey (Brasil) streets.
					
The interactive museum 
					Planetario is inaugurated as part of a collaborative project 
					between the Government of Japan, the Ministry of Science, 
					Technology and Environment of Cuba and the Office of the 
					Historian of the City in 2009. In this scientific and 
					cultural center the big bang, the solar system and the 
					galaxy, all that what is related with the birth of our 
					planet and the cosmos, is explained in an impressive way by 
					three dimensional representations and models. The 45-minute 
					guided tour is particularly educative for kids that would 
					imagine the 13.700 million years of the universe during 
					their visit of the rooms spread over four floors.
