Housed in the former Convent of St Francis and created as part of the post-earthquake restoration, this is a dynamic and interactive exhibition designed to help visitors understand the phenomena of physics, exploring the concepts of time and space in a simple and effective way for adults and students of all ages.
A museum that takes visitors on a journey through the fascinating history of concepts of time and space, right up to the latest scientific discoveries, in an exhibition that has deep connections not only with history, ancient astronomy and physics, but also with art and painting. In this regard, the exhibition is enriched by the artistic work of the physicist and mathematician Lucio Saffaro (1929–1998) and by Agostino Guidi’s unique private collection of slide rules. The Lamborghini Room, curated by the Sant’Agata Bolognese-based company – an international flagship of our region – also fits perfectly into the exhibition. It has transformed space and time into refined symbols of speed, design and technical innovation that are appreciated worldwide. Visitors have access to stations featuring state-of-the-art interactive tools, an immersive corridor, in-depth videos and reconstructions, allowing them to explore the museum from different perspectives on a journey that is always original and surprising!
