New Delhi:
After a major overhaul, the Nehru Planetarium in the capital was
reopened Friday for visitors.
The planetarium, providing astronomy education to children, now
welcomes visitors with modern projection systems and better
facilities.
The new projection systems, including high-end telescopes, would
allow viewers to get a graphical view of the space systems.
“This museum has a history of providing knowledge to children and
the advancements show that it has a long way to go,” said Karan
Singh, senior politician and chairperson of the Nehru Memorial
Museum and Library (NMML).
The renovation was initiated jointly by the NMML and the Ministry
of Culture.
“We are expecting more visitors during the Games. So we had
started the renovation work much earlier,” Mridula Mukherjee,
museum director told IANS.
The excitement could be seen among school kids who had gathered to
visit the planetarium.
The museum would host many activities during the Games, including
live interactive shows and quiz competition on astronomy education
for children.
