Macleay Museum

Scientific Instrument Collection

In 1972 the Macleay Museum held an exhibition of Historical and Interesting Scientific Instruments drawn from several departments. At the conclusion of the exhibition some apparatus was returned to departments. Other departments felt this historic material should be retained in the museum. So began the scientific instrument collection.

Today there are more than 1000 items in the collection. Microscopy and electrical apparatus are well represented. The collection also includes chemical apparatus and glassware, weights and measures, surveying and navigation, drawing and calculating instruments, and some meteorological instruments.

Весьма интересна среди предлагаемых тут онлайновых выставок та, которая называется The Garden, the Ark, the

Tower, the Temple ("Сад, Радуга, Башня, Храм"). Она посвящена библейским метафорам в европейской науке,

связанным с понятиями "Райский сад", "Радуга Ноя" (та самая, которая была явлена Всевышним после всемирного

потопа, в знак обещания, что впредь человечество в целом наказано не будет), "Вавилонская башня" и

"Иерусалимский Храм". Правда, иллюстрации тут довольно маленькие, а при щелчке по каталожным номерам

раскрываются не картинки, а подробные их описания.

Дом Галилея

After years of discussion and, occasionally, heated debate, interested Italian cultural circles in general, and the city of Pisa in particular, at last agreed to dedicate a memorial to Galileo Galilei, who was born in Pisa in 1564. The founding of the Domus Galilæana in 1942 by the philosopher Giovanni Gentile on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of Galileo's death, also resolved the arguments regarding the actual form of the monument to be erected. Discussions had ranged from the usual suggestions for a statue to be erected in some square, a research institute in physics or in a more general scientific field, or one in the particular field of historic studies on Galileo Galiei - and this last suggestion, in the end, prevailed. The Domus Galilæana originated as a combined centre of documentation and study on the works of Galileo and the scientific movement with which Galileo is historically identified.

Institute and Museum of History of Science, Florence, ITALY

The museum exhibition occupies two entire floors of the Palazzo Castellani. The first floor preserves the Medici Collection, the second floor housing the Lorraine Dynasty Collection. A series of aids for the providing of back-up information for visitors are in the process of being installed in the museum. In particular, a multi-media catalogue is in a phase of advanced experimentation. This is in four languages, and illustrates the uses of the objects preserved in the museum, whilst also providing the historical-scientific framework in which they were constructed and used. A simplified version of the Multimedia Catalog is available on the WWW
