The foundation stone was placed on February 22, 1988 at the place where the Saltlageret theater was previously located. The financial basis for building the planetarium was a 5,000,000 DKK donation by Bodil and Helge Petersen to the Urania foundation, which administered the construction of the planetarium.
The planetarium has an IMAX theater, as well as a star projector which can show 4,000 stars, the sun, and the planets of our solar system.
