Coming January 2026!
This touring exhibition focuses on showcasing Galileo Galilei’s significant contributions to science, particularly his impact on our understanding of physics, astronomy, and the scientific method. Visitors gain insights into how Galileo’s fearless and pioneering work in science, physics, and astronomy shaped our modern World. The Galileo exhibition provides exciting opportunities for STEAM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) particularly in the fields of: physics geometry, mathematics and astronomy through hands-on interactive experiments.
A great fit for any museum or science center with links to space or a planetarium, as Galileo’s science played a critical role in humanity’s travels into outer space and the moon landing.
The exhibition delves into specific themes related to Galileo’s work:
• Astronomy: Galileo’s astronomical observations and discoveries, likely including his support for heliocentrism.
• Simple Machines: Exploring Galileo’s studies on the principles of simple machines.
• Gravity, Motion, and Time: Examining Galileo’s groundbreaking experiments and theories related to gravity, motion, and the concept of time.
• Military and Ballistics: Highlighting Galileo’s work in military science and ballistics.
• The Birth of Experimental Science: Emphasizing Galileo’s role as a pioneer of the experimental scientific method.
