Most of the main exhibits have the text translated into English - but be warned that the text is quite small print, so not really child-friendly below a certain age. There is no English text to the current (excellent) temporary exhibition, but there is quite enough to see without that. There is an audio guide included which can beset to English. The screenings in the planetarium can be listened to on an English language headset, although TBH mine didn’t seem to work. There is also an intro to cosmology of about 15 mins length, which is not translated. It’s a great visit!
