History, science and territory
The Scale Museum continues its efforts to enhance its collection of over 1300 measuring instruments!On display are majestic or pocket scales, metres and arms, weights of various materials and shapes... all instruments that man invented and perfected to 'weigh pieces of the world', objects that tell the story of trade but also the evolution of science and how an area has changed
The proposals for the 2022/23 school year include some 'best classic' and many new additions, all to be discovered!
