Exhibit Summary
Galileo's Laboratory is a Interactive interactive exhibit in the Mechanics in Motion category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
The displays refer to the environment of Galileo's former residence, Annibale Gatti's painting "Galileo and Milton" and related restoration pictures, simulating and restoring the scenes of Galileo's science research.
Operation
Villa il Gioiello – the residence of Galileo Galilei from 1631 until his death. It was in this residence that Galileo wrote the Dialogue Concerning the Two Principal World Systems and his last masterpiece, Discourse and Mathematical Demonstration Relating to the Two New Sciences. This was also where he was imprisoned (1633-1642) during his period of house arrest after being denounced by the Church. Galileo Galilei was a great Italian physicist and astronomer, the founder of modern science and modern physics. Galileo brought effective quantification into physics, used celestial observations to deny the geocentric theory, made a thermometer, discovered the law of inertia, the period formula of a simple pendulum, the formula of falling bodies, and the understanding of motion that was postulated as Galileo's theory of relativity. He was born three days before Michelangelo's death, as if to connect two eras: the Renaissance was complete and modern science was beginning to set sail.
