What is light and how does it propagate? How are rocks created and destroyed and how are they composed? What was the purpose of drawing and how was it drawn in the past? How did our grandparents and great-grandparents perform the arithmetic and algebraic calculations? How were distances, angles and time measured 100, 500, 2000, 4000 years ago? These and many other questions can be answered during a visit to the Michelangelo Museum. Especially if we make use of the story of the educators (young students of the school, suitably trained) who guide visitors on a path that also offers opportunities for interaction.
Preserves and exhibits rocks and minerals and scientific instruments, didactic models and technological equipment for audio, video, writing and calculation, dated between 1850ca and 2000ca.
