Laboratories and Displays
We are proud to be able to present our artifacts-antique
science instruments and philosophical apparatus-in recreated "old
fashion" functional laboratories.
Check some of our videos. Obviously we are still
clumsy. However we have hundreds of experiments to record, and
in the process we will become very good at it.

We at NSM know and love high vacuum. I personally
think that advancement in vacuum technology was as important as
the discovery and proliferation of printing presses.

Some of our microscopes.

Nothing is more important, in my view, than to make
sure your kids develop well their potentials and this take effort
and support. To start loving and knowing science, it is not a bad
idea to emerge your kid in the study of solar energy. By working
for solar energy projects early, youth will understand fundamental
concepts (as photon is) and important things (as power is) better
and faster.

"Charlie Trautman" Printing Press Room

Mr. Trautman donated his printing press paraphernalia to NSM in
2009. We are grateful for that. This shop is in its way to print
in "the good, old fashion" once more. |
Electrostatic Generation Laboratory
Electrostatic
Machines, Electrometers,
Leyden Jars

Electricity laboratory, as it used to be: static
electricity generation. |
Vince Frasca Radio Room
Radios, Telegraphy

Vince Frasca was a co-worker and a friend of mine.
His passion for antique instruments was dip and contagious. Probably
this is why we got-along so well. We canvassed quite a few flea
markets together. In 2008 Vince died prematurely. The “Radio
Room” is a homage for this noble soul.

Most interesting for young inquiring minds. A bit dangerous,
although. Watch those sparks how far they can jump. Imagine one
of your hand being one of the "electrodes"

Museum Hours: Monday - Sunday 11am to 5pm From Mid April
until late October.
The museum is open all year “by appointment”. However, at
present we reorganise
some of the laboratories, and prepare the second floor for opening in
spring 2012.
….we will be closed for a few weeks.
