Middle schools

The Giovanni Poleni Museum offers educational paths that accompany students on a journey to discover the history of physics and scientific instruments. Through observation, reasoning, and small practical activities, the students explore the Museum’s collections, discovering how science has developed from the Renaissance to the modern era.

The common thread of the activities is the Physics Cabinet founded by Giovanni Poleni in 1739, with ancient instruments that tell the story of the Paduan university and European scientific progress.
