About event
weather today people watch with digital sensors and computers, but in the past it has been different. The lecture will show what devices have been used in Clementinum from the 18th century to the present. Visitors will return to the time when the oldest Czech meteorological station Tikaly has clock machines, the devices tightened human hair, the mercury molecules moved, or rendered pressure, temperature and humidity. Visitors will learn about the margins of the development of instrumental observations, and what it means full automation in the traditional environment.
