About Eise Eisinga Planetarium

The Eise Eisinga Planetarium from the late 18th century is the oldest working planetarium in the world. The planetarium represents the values of the Enlightenment and of the long regional and cultural tradition of the 'lay scholar'. The house and its planetarium was purchased by the Dutch state in 1825, and later given to the city of Franeker which exploits it as a museum.
