The Moscow Planetarium is a planetarium in Moscow. It is the oldest planetarium in Russia. It was built in 1927–1929, by Constructivist architects Mikhail Barsh, Mikhail Sinyavsky, and engineer Georgy Zunblat.^[1]^[2]

Closure and reopening

[edit]

In June 2011, the planetarium was reopened after being closed for 17 years. The building was significantly renovated and expanded, making it, according to the planetarium, the largest planetarium in Europe.^[2]

The renovation altered the original design of the planetarium, with the main building raised six meters to fit two additional stories beneath the dome.^[2]
