THE SCIENCE OF ARCHIMEDES

The Exploreum Science Center is proud to announce its upcoming international exhibition, The Science of Archimedes. Journey back in time more than 2,000 years to discover the incredible inventions of Archimedes, the father of modern science. Handcrafted by the Artisans of Florence, Archimedes contains more than 60 exhibits and inventions, many of which are hands-on, allowing visitors the opportunity to use them in an epic, interactive environment. Guests will be encouraged to explore the innovative machines that continue to influence the technologies of today (many of which are powered by sustainable energy sources). This hands-on exhibition contains four themes that allow visitors to explore the best technology of the ancient world and see the lasting impact of the genius of Archimedes. “Ancient Machines,” “Energy Machines,” and “The Power of Shapes” explores the use of geometry to create advanced technologies, and “Archimedes’ Legacy.” The exhibit runs Feb. 1, through May 14, 2022, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Exploreum Science Center and is Presented by Hargrove Engineering and sponsored by Mobile County District 2, AM/NS Calvert, Sweet Home Alabama, and Dr. and Mrs. Allen Oaks.
