ARCHITECTURE FEATURE
Viewed from the air, the main building of the museum looks like a super bowl of astronomical instruments with a circular skylight, an inverted spherical dome, and a dome theater.
Like the mechanism of sundials, a light spot on the ground changes as sunlight shines through the circular skylight and will be a perfect circle on the noon of the Summer Solstice.
