About this audio guide
This guide to the B.M. Birla Planetarium in Chennai is about the theatre itself as a machine: the pierced aluminium dome over your head, the star projector that ran it from its opening in nineteen eighty-eight, and the seats that once made audiences crane their necks. It follows the eighteen-month renovation that closed the dome and brought in new equipment from Germany. Best heard in the lobby before you take your seat.
