The Kiev Planetarium opened in January 1952. In 1987, a new building of the Kyiv Planetarium was completed and opened at 57/3 Chervonoarmiyska Street (now Velyka Vasylkivska). The planetarium still operates at this address. The Zeiss IV Planetarium was purchased and installed. Part of the projection equipment (projectors, "car" device, "sea-snow" projector, etc. ) moved to a new building. The Kyiv Planetarium has a large lecture hall with a hemispherical dome 23 meters in diameter and 11.5 meters high, which is the second largest in Europe, and the building itself has a special architectural style with open space, and a unique architectural feature - a spiral ramp, symbolizing constant development and moving forward.→
