GALILEO GALILEI EXHIBITION IN PADUA
Galileo Galilei exhibition in Padua.
Galileo was a scientist, the father of the experimental method, but also a virtuoso musician and performer, artist and entrepreneur.
The exhibition on Galileo Galilei in Padua recounts, for the first time, the complex figure and role of one of the greatest protagonists of the scientific world, in the city where he taught and worked for a long time and which still preserves the chair from which Galileo gave his lectures.

The exhibition in Padua is an original journey, where masterpieces of Western art interact with evidence of the life and work of Galileo Galilei, allowing visitors to discover a man of many facets.
Seven centuries of Western art intertwine in Padua with the science, technology and life of Galileo Galilei, recounting the human story of an exceptional man, celebrated in Padua, where he played a leading role for 18 years.
