Unfortunately, there are no facilities to learn astronomy in a way that are interactive and easy to understand. This project is a museum of astronomy project that is located in a Technopolis area in Gedebage,Bandung. This project is owned by one of the developer in that area, PT Mahkota Permata Perdana. This project location is quite strategic because it is situated in an area that has thorough infrastructure. The site itself is located along the edge of a lake that can be used to draw visitors. The total area of this project is around 5,000 m2.
