Discover how the Palace of Versailles used science as a tool of power in this illuminating new exhibition. From iconic royal residence of the past, to Olympic and Paralympic venue today, the Palace of Versailles is famous around the world for its opulent architecture and rich history. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it also became a major site of scientific thinking. Opening this December, Versailles: Science and Splendour will explore the important role science played at the Palace.
Visitors will be transported to the world of the French royal court to discover spectacular objects including Louis XV’s rhinoceros, an extraordinarily detailed map of the moon by Jean-Dominique Cassini and a beautiful sculptural clock evoking the creation of the world. The exhibition presents significant figures associated with the pursuit of knowledge at Versailles, including the pioneering Madame du Coudray, who trained thousands of midwives across rural France.

放飞自我去游玩

The museum is hidden in a white building with a long history. It was founded in 1857. There are many large power machines on the first floor. Six large steam engines perform twice a day. Unfortunately, we didn&#39;t catch up. The second-floor lobby exhibits steel industry, glass industry machine tools and tools, as well as textile machinery, typewriters and printing machinery. Further up, there is a ship history exhibition, an aviation exhibition hall with real airplanes and rockets, a computer exhibition hall, and content related to optics, electromagnetism, earthquake observation, communications and aviation, as well as medical history collections. We were dazzled by it all and felt that we had too little time and it was totally insufficient.

The Tower of London is an ancient castle with a very large interior. We spent 5 hours visiting it with a Chinese audio guide. The British royal crown is stored here and it is really beautiful, but it is a pity that we cannot take photos of it. There are some free-roaming ravens raised in the castle, which are considered the castle&#39;s mascots and are quite interesting.
