SCIENTIFIC. GLASS CABINET (Small House) - German/German
The Scientific Glass Cabinet shows the material glass as a tool of the first natural scientists as well as its development as a material for industry. The chronological starting point is the 16th century, which is described as the beginning of modern natural sciences. It is the time of the Renaissance, the return to antiquity. Man made his own thoughts about the structure of the world - with the sun and no longer the earth at the centre.
Galileo Galilei exemplifies the scientists who emerged from anonymity. His revolutionary astronomical discoveries led to a reorganisation of the world in the 17th century. And with his new scientific approach, he became the founder of the modern natural sciences. Galileo was the first to use glass as a scientific tool. He built a telescope from two glass lenses and proved the heliocentric view of the world with the sun as the centre.
13 scientists illustrate here in the "Scientific Glass Cabinet" the development of modern science up to the modern industrial age - a development that would not have been possible without the material glass.
Scientific Glass Cabinet (Small Building) - English
The scientific glass cabinet contains glass materials used by the first natural scientists as tools and shows you the development of glass into an industrial material. We start in the 16th century, which is regarded as the beginning of modern natural sciences and a period in history known as the Renaissance, which saw a return to antiquity. Human beings began looking at how the world functioned - with the sun and not the earth as the central, pivotal point.
Galileo Galilei is an example of the scientists who emerged from anonymity and his revolutionary astronomic discoveries during the 17th century completely changed the world. His new scientific method of working also made him the founder of modern natural sciences. Galilei was the first to use glass as a scientific tool by building his telescope with two glass lenses that proved the heliocentric worldview with sun as the central point.
13 scientists here in the "Scientific Glass Cabinet," illustrate the development of modern sciences into the modern industrial age - a development that wouldn't have been possible without glass.
