Does a globe always have to depict the Earth? How were stars and planets observed and studied in the past? Is a telescope essential for exploring the cosmos? We\u2019ll find out how a famous astronomer, who studied at the Krak\u00f3w Academy \u2013 the predecessor of today\u2019s Jagiellonian University \u2013 managed this some 500 years ago. During the session, we\u2019ll learn about historical methods of exploring the cosmos and examine astronomical instruments from the collections of the Collegium Maius Museum at the Jagiellonian University. We\u2019ll also discover how changing conceptions of the universe inspired artists and influenced the way the world was depicted in art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the practical session, children and parents, with the support of our educators, will create their own artworks inspired by scientific discoveries and their impact on art. We will combine various techniques and materials, developing imagination, dexterity and curiosity about the world. Together, we will gaze at the sky through the eyes of astronomers of old and create cosmic tales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also invite families from Ukraine to join us \u2013 an educator who speaks Ukrainian will be present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
