The Armagh Observatory and Planetarium (AOP) is an exemplar for Northern Ireland on the world stage, an institution excelling in research and public outreach in science, set within a heritage environment that is rich in scientific history. A place where the story of humanity’s ongoing quest for understanding about the cosmos can be seen and experienced.
In October 2021 we launched our 2021-2026 Strategy. Leading on from the Corporate Plan 2018-2021, which set out to achieve stability for the organisation and provide a firm foundation for the future, the 5-year strategy focuses on achieving our full potential and establishing a new iconic facility for Armagh – providing a destination we can all be proud of.
