Sharing the excitement of astronomical research has always been an important goal for ESO. ESO headquarters in Garshing opened its doors to the public on the 11th of October 2014. The many visitors were for the first time able to visit ESO's two impressive new buildings. And they enjoyed a wide range of activities to introduce them to astronomy and the world of ESO.
