Physics and Mathematics Salon Museum in Dresden: photos, reviews

About

In 1728, in Dresden, on the site of a greenhouse, a natural science museum and a graphic art cabinet were established, and within two years, it became one of the most significant in Europe. The founder of the museum is considered to be Elector Augustus the Strong, who had a love for the exact sciences and showed a great interest in various technical achievements.

Today, visitors can see the museum, which was recently renovated in 2013. The exhibits here are truly valuable, capable of telling a lot about a particular historical period just by sight.

Among the most important exhibits are: an Arab celestial globe created in 1279; an orbit-shaped clock from 1560; Blaise Pascal's arithmometer from 1650; and many others. Incidentally, the collection of clocks and small mechanisms in the "Mathematical-Physical Salon" alone contains more than 2,000 objects.
