MY Yangon Guide's friends, let's go visit and explore the upgraded Space Museum (Yangon), which has been converted from the former Planetarium inside the People's Park in Yangon! It's incredibly interesting...

The Planetarium was built inside the People's Park, Dagon Township, Yangon, in 1987 as a monument to the friendship between Japan and Myanmar. In 2024, following the travel guidance of the Head of State, the Planetarium was upgraded to the Space Museum to showcase space technology and promote interest among young people.

The Myanmar Space Agency (MSA) of the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, the Yangon Region Government, and the Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC) took charge of upgrading the Planetarium into the Space Museum. The museum was then inaugurated by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Acting President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar and Chairman of the State Administration Council.

After its upgrade to the Space Museum (Yangon), the museum features:

• Deep Space Exploration Gallery: Explores deep space probes within the solar system.
• Space Station Gallery: Displays information about space stations.
• Spiral Walkway Gallery: Showcases the thoughts and theories of ancient Greek scholars, their theoretical discoveries, and the history of rockets.
• Main Gallery (Dome Video Clip): Presents the history of Earth's formation, information about the planets in our solar system, and discoveries made in the universe using a dome video clip.

Therefore, this museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in space and science.

The general public can visit the Space Museum (Yangon) to comprehensively learn about the efforts of ancient scholars in astronomy, the theoretical discoveries in space technology, and the evolution and progress of space technology, all in one place, thereby expanding their knowledge.
