Mills Observatory
The Mills Observatory in Dundee was the first purpose-built public astronomical observatory in the UK. Built in 1935, the observatory is classically styled in sandstone and has a distinctive 7m dome, which houses a Victorian refracting telescope, a small planetarium, and display areas.
The display area is split into two parts. The main area in the centre of the building at ground floor level provides changing displays of pictures and models and also houses the observatory shop. The upper level provides displays of historic equipment and information of local importance.
