| I've been interested in and collecting Planetaria for about 15 years. The definition of Planetaria is not crystal clear, some mean planetary models only, others mean all items related to the demonstration of the celestial world, movable magic lantern slides, transparent star charts or even microphotographs of the planets! Dont miss the Reference Litterature list at the end of this page! | ||

Ive have been trying to gather everything I could come across about old Planetaria models, pre 1920, and the history of their makers. This is a humble effort to make my finds available to all others interested in the field. The list and its information is by no means complete, but I hope that in time, and with the help of fellow collectors, it will grow into a useful tool for all of you out there who have an interest in this fascinating field! All information and pictures used in the list are free for you to use as you please, but I would be most grateful for a credit when you do so! All contributions, text and pictures, are most welcome! You will reach me at Thomas Sandberg | ||
