L’Hemisfèric


This incredible building can be found in València, Spain. It is part of the futuristic museum complex of the City of Arts and Sciences. It includes an arts center, a science museum, an oceanographic park, and the Hemisfèric, which is an IMAX cinema and planetarium. It was designed by the local architect Santiago Calatrava. L’Hemisfèric was opened in 1998 as Europe’s largest planetarium with a dome diameter of 24 meters. The structure is built to resemble an eye – using the reflection on the water. At night, the eyelids are closed.
