Located in the Sakae area of the city of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture, the Nagoya City Science Museum has been known all over the world for the giant silver globe that is automatically visible on the entrance of the building. This giant silver globe actually houses the planetarium of the said museum. This planetarium has proved to be worthy of each traveler's money because the programs and events vary every month, keeping it fresh to each visitor who arrives. The building is composed of 7 storeys, all dedicated to permanent exhibitions of items relating to science and space.
