Renaissance: 1536 - 1660
11.02.2007 - 11.02.2009
Description:
Renaissance thinkers were fascinated by the world and keen to study and understand its composition and interrelationsships - in order, at least in part, to master it. The world also became smaller as explorers embarked upon epic voyages, leading, for example to the discovery of America. The development of sophisticated clocks and refined instruments was a consequence of this interest in the nature of things.
The collection housed by The National Museum reflects the incipient technical and scientific revolution associated with the Renaissance, as well as the prestige associated with owning fine and unusual instruments.
