Higher education
Sonnenborgh offers higher education students the opportunity to visit the museum and observatory on a classroom basis. In consultation with you, we will create a suitable programme tailored to your needs and interests.
Custom curriculum
Sonnenborgh offers custom programmes for higher education. Would you like a lesson on the solar research done at Sonnenborgh and its significance within astronomy? A class on meteorology at the place where KNMI was founded? Something else? We are happy to help.
Planetarium show
The planetarium is a cinema in the shape of a hemisphere. On the inside of the sphere, you can see the universe projected. During a show, you can take a journey to planets, galaxies, gas nebulae and zoom in on the sun, moon or other celestial bodies as desired.
Sonnenborgh has a mobile planetarium which we use to visit schools. The inflatable dome can accommodate about 25 students and can be set up in auditoriums, gyms and canteens. Book a series of shows in succession to introduce multiple classes to the secrets of the universe. Note: unfortunately, we are currently fully booked in terms of planetarium shows. As soon as space becomes available again, we will indicate it here.
