The National Library of Medicine has a nice exhibition on Harry Potter and Renaissance science and magic. Sadly, the traveling exhibition is not coming to Philadelphia, so be content with the on-line version.

The Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence has a nice new exhibit on Leonardo da Vinci. The myth of Leonardo continues to grow.

A quick pointer to an article in the Independent about Newton and the apple as well as a link to the Royal Society’s Turning the Pages™ on-line exhibition.

If you prefer the style of the Guardian, they too have an article on Newton and his apple, and The Royal Society’s Turning the Pages™ gallery. This post also includes links to the British Library’s and the Wellcome Library’s Turning the Pages™ galleries.
UPDATE: This post now also includes a link to the New Scientist article about Newton’s apple.
UPDATE #2: Links to the articles in Scientific American and in the NY Times.
UPDATE #3: Now this is just silly—link to the BBC News story and to the History Today article.

The main point of this short post is to draw attention to some nice on-line exhibits at the Institute and Museum of the History of Science in Florence. The museum is currently being renovated and will reopen as the “Museo Galileo,” which prompted the post’s title.

At latest Brown Bag Lunch at the Chemical Heritage Foundation Jo Ann Caplin rehearsed (and advertised) one part of her idea for a new PBS television show. Much of her talk was, simply, screening part of a video of Martin Kemp’s study of La Bella Milanese (Kemp wants to rename the work “La Bella Principessa”).
