Nagoya City Science Museum

NCSM is the comprehensive science museum of Nagoya city.

The Nagoya City Science Museum has many highlights such as an external appearance of landmark design featuring the spherical shape of the world's biggest planetarium with a diameter of 35 meters, a highly realistic starry sky that shown on the planetarium's screen, a -30 degree ºC room where you can see aurora images.

The building itself is the exhibition with its photovoltaic power generation equipment used to power the building, the green wall, and a way to see its earthquake-proof contraction as well as its elevator structure.

Please come visit the Nagoya City Science Museum not only for its value as a learning facility but as a tourist attraction as well.
