Pei. The main body consists of an inclined cone, a hemisphere and a rhombus-shaped pedestal. The functions of these three parts are the exhibition hall, the planetarium and the conference center. The exterior walls of the building are finished in silver-gray metal aluminum panels, supplemented by dark granite. Viewed from a distance, the appearance is very scientific.△ Exhibition CenterThe 5,800-square metres Exhibition Center plus its atrium accommodates 13 permanent galleries. The galleries theme cover Astronomical Science, Fun Science, Children Science, Nautical Science, Biodiversity, Smart Technology, Acoustics, Physics Mechanics, Chinese Scientist Spirit , Sustainable Development, Data Science, and Electrics and Electromagnetics Gallery. There is one more gallery reserved for special exhibitions. The exhibitions seek to provide knowledge-oriented, scientific and interesting interactive exhibits, and allow visitors to explore science in a hands-on way.△ PlanetariumThe centerpiece of the Planetarium is a tilted semi-dome screen nearly 15 meters in diameter, supported by high resolution 3D digital projectors. The Planetarium has around 127 seats equipped with interactive controls. Wearing special glasses, the audience can see 3D images projected onto the screen. Its powerful database, coupled with the amazing projection effects, can take viewers on a journey traveling freely into space. The system can also show digital Dome films, thus making the Planetarium a multi-functional Dome theater.
