Art Safari and the National Technical Museum “Engineer Professor Dimitrie Leonida” exchange exhibits between 21 and 31 July, bringing together art, science, and technology.
“No matter how different science and art may be, we cannot deny that in some places they resemble and influence each other. The French philosopher Étienne Gilson said that people produce works of art, while machines produce “cultural objects” or, more simply said, “things”. Undoubtedly, science plays a dynamic and decisive role in determining the cultural style of our time”, said Laura Maria Albani, director of the Technical Museum.
“We invite all the little and great scientists to Art Safari! We have prepared for you a journey into the fascinating world of art, but also a walk among inventions and extraordinary devices, interesting vestiges of Romanian and international technology, important for technological progress. I thank the Technical Museum for having received our proposal with openness”, mentioned Ioana Ciocan, general manager of Art Safari, according to a press release sent to Agerpres.
Among the exhibits of the Technical Museum displayed at Art Safari you can see: the portable aircraft patented by Justin Capră and Ion Munteanu in 1958, also called the “flying backpack”; OROLES electro-scooter made by Justin Capră in 1980 – called “Dacian king”; layout of a steam locomotive; a space suit; a bicycle with wooden wheels from 1875; a velocipede type 1900; the layout of the space shuttle Columbia; the model of an IAR 80 aircraft; Carpathian moped – the first consumer moped in Romania, produced in Zărneşti.
