The Armagh Planetarium opened in 1968, after a 2 year design and construction phase. The Planetarium was the brain child of Dr. Eric Lindsay, who was Director of Armagh Observatory Observatory from 1937 until his death in 1974. The Observatory itself has a long and interesting history . The original Planetarium building was based on a design for the Queen Elizabeth Planetarium in Edmonton Canada, and the chief architect for the Project was Mr. Bell of Portadown.
