As the largest astronomy museum in the world, the new Shanghai Astronomy Museum designed by Ennead Architects presents immersive spaces that remind visitors of humanity's role in the cosmos. Featuring a design that eschews straight lines in favour of curves and arcs that embody orbital trajectories, the museum is home to a host of exhibits and installations meant to educate the public on space exploration and various astronomical phenomena. The building itself functions as an astronomical instrument, tracing the movements of the sun and other heavenly bodies across the sky.
