Exhibition "Observatories"

The first celestial observations date back many thousands of years, when landmarks were used to try to find connections between life on Earth and the movements of celestial bodies. From these origins to modern space astronomy, the development of observatories is traced here, including their buildings, instruments and observing techniques.
