An unlikely but genuine delight. The planetarium was inaugurated in 1994 in an unusual public-private collaboration between the Japanese Optical Company Goto and the Indian and Japanese governments. The dome shows (typically in Bengali) are primarily aimed at school groups but are visually engaging regardless of language. The attached Science Centre has interactive exhibits that are well-maintained and genuinely educational.
