The Institute and Museum of the History of Science at the Perugia Science Fest

Area:	Educational department
Start:	6 September 2007
End:	22 September 2007
Description:	The IMSS participated in the fifth edition of the Perugia Science Fest (September 6-22, 2007) with the laboratory "Con l'occhio di Leonardo, la scienza della pittura" ("The Eye of Leonardo: the Science of Art"), curated by Gianni Miglietta and Stella Battaglia. In keeping with themes explored in the exhibition: "The Mind of Leonardo" (Uffizi Gallery, March 2006 - January 2007) the workshop offers an engaging journey into the techniques and knowledge which, according to Leonardo, made painting the most noble among the sciences. On the occasion of the Festival an installation was created following the key principles proposed by some of the IMSS's laboratories (perspective, gnomonics and cartography).
