Galileo Galilei was an Italian natural philosopher, astronomer and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the sciences of motion, astronomy, strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method. Through interactive exhibits, we explore Galileo’s study of motion and his discoveries with the telescope, which paved the way for acceptance that the Sun is central in our planetary system.
This exhibition allows visitors to discover Galileo through interactive experiments. Developed by The Artisans of Florence, whose Da Vinci and Archimedes exhibitions we have shown previously, this exhibition is ideal for children, families, and school groups, keen to experience science hands-on. Waikato Museum is pleased to be the first venue in the world to showcase this latest exhibition.
The Exscite science gallery is jam-packed with interactive, science-based activities for young people to actively learn while having fun. This combined offer with Galileo allows half-price entry into Exscite.
Concession applies to students, Friends of Waikato Museum, Senior Citizens and Community Cardholders. ID required.

Exhibition developed and toured by Artisans of Florence International.
