Highlights Details
Through mirrors and experimentation with phenomena such as reflection, this exhibition highlights the importance of mathematics as an indispensable tool that allows us to study, systematize and understand the world around us.
Visitors will first learn about the properties of different types of mirrors and experience their surprising effects. Next, the exhibition presents some important scientific and technological applications that are possible thanks to mirrors and their interaction with light – such as the James Webb space telescope, which launched in 2021.
