Infini.to - Planetarium of Turin, Museum of Astronomy and Space Science

Infini.to is the first pioneering Italian Science Center devoted to Astronomy, Astrophysics and Space Science and was inaugurated in September 2007 on top of the panoramic hills surrounding the city of Turin, next to the Astrophysical Observatory, with the mission of communicating the most advanced results of scientific research on astronomical topics. The participating Institutions of Infini.to are the National Institute of Astrophysics, the University of Turin, the Piedmont Region, the Metropolitan City of Turin, and the Township of Pino Torinese. In ten years Infini.to has developed into a successful educational and didactic center devoted to the dissemination of astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, space science and STEM disciplines in general. It combines one of the most advanced digital planetarium with a 1.000 square meters exhibition area. Infini.to has hosted more than 500.000 visitors and students so far, not only from local neighboring cities of the Piedmont Region, but also from Italy and abroad. Infini.to offers frequent guided tours, laboratory activities, shows in the planetarium, conferences, seminaries, workshops for educators and teachers, and stargazing events, aimed to its assorted visitors.
