Rome's new Planetarium shares space with the Museum of Roman Civilizations, an improbable partnership between two polar extremes.
The museum of Roman Civilization traces the history of the city, and includes some charming scale models of Rome as it once was.
The astronomical museum within the complex functions as a theatre, taking vistors on a tour that departs from earth, procedes to a moon landing, and is followed by a Solar System presentation, exploring time, space and chemical elements.
Location: Piazza G. Agnelli, 10 in the Museo Civiltà Romana (EUR) Open Tuesday-Friday, 9 am-2 pm; Saturday-Sunday, 9 am -7 pm
