Science or Art?

So it’s the home of Michelangelo, Machiavelli, and many more Big Daddies of culture, but after we had run around to see all these past masters of their respective arts, Emma and I hid away and geeked it up inside the Galileo museum of science and technology. That’s right. And we’re not even that ashamed of it.

Seriously though, this city was a very cool place, and does a good job of making you fall in love with Renaissance architecture and art (even if just temporarily). Luckily, back in the days, the line between art and science was a bit more blurred than it seems to be these days, and we could still pretend to be trendy and cultured rather than just plain geeky by rating the Galileo museum as our favourite non-food-related location in the city. Seeing just how much of what we rely on everyday (and learn in high school and university physics classes) was first discovered and developed hundreds of years ago with the crudest (but at the same time, most elegant) technology kept us spellbound for hours on end.

Pictures: Sweet bridges and buildings, and well what is it? It tells the time, the day, the date, and where all the planets in the solar system are and will be moving to. But in it's time, it was also considered art.
