About us

»Prohlis, Palitzsch and planets« -- In the middle of Dresden's Prohlis district, the Palitzsch Museum undertakes a cross-country museum tour that begins with the prehistory of mankind, leads to the sciences of the 18th century and ends in the space research of the present day. The main attraction is a digital planetarium.
