Matsumoto City Education and Culture Center
A place where learning and discovery expand, under the starry sky and through education
This facility features a planetarium projecting the night sky, a science museum where you can see, touch, and learn, and an audiovisual center supporting learning through images and sound. Seasonally changing starry sky presentations and exhibits that make everyday nature and science accessible offer enjoyable experiences for both adults and children. It's recommended as a rainy-day outing or a family stopover spot, offering a glimpse into Matsumoto's intellectual side.
