exhibition text

On their travels to distant and often unknown areas sailors had reliable maps and tools needed to determine their course and position. That last one they did on the basis of the position of the heavenly bodies. Astronomy and cartography names also booming in the 17th century. The pictured person is engaged in astronomy and cartography, surrounded by scientific instruments. On the closet and on the table are globes. Left a tellurium on the ground; since one could make them see what makes the earth moves. Far right front an astrolabe (for astronomical and geographical measurements), also a quadrant and a Dutch Circle.
