    Special Thanks to the staff of IMSS

    With regard to our project of  the Galileo Telescope  for the Griffith Observatory  Rhoda & I  can not thank the staff of  the ISTITUTE E MUSEO DI STORIA DELLA SCIENZA  Florence Italy enough for their help on our recent visit to gather data on Galileo Telescope. Most of us cannot appreciate 'enough'  the hard work and dedication  of the museum staff behind the scenes that preserve and prepare for display those precious things that demonstrate so well the positive attributes of the scientific community.

    This is a beautiful Museum  for art lovers and scientist alike. The Instrument are truly works of art  which  also have had a major influence on our quality of life.

    Click here to share with us  a bit of our visit to this wonderful Museum in Florence Italy  and a short tour of Venice & Austria.
         Visit the wonderful Animations site  of the Museum to see how things in Galileo's time work
