This museum is located in Florence, Italy. The virtual museum is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. There is a map and categories that you can click for more information and pictures. The different categories include: objects, videos by thematic area, rooms, biographies, glossary, and the Museo Galileo catalogue. There are 18 rooms in the library. When you click on one room, it gives you the options of watching a video, listening to audio, and shows you the objects that are located in that room. In the museum there are over 1,000 objects that you can see with a description. There are 16 thematic areas that contain videos relating to the theme. There are sooooo many videos and there are numerous science and math related themes. There is biographical information on all of the people whose contributions have something to do with that museum, whether they are the inventor of the object or people who have quoted data within explanations. The glossary contains in depth entries in alphabetical order. Teachers of science or mathematics can use this information to supplement their lessons. The video I watched had to with angles and how they are measured.
Along with the museum, there is a library that you can access. The library contains the following:
You can search the libraries and archives and you can see what journals they subscribe to, but you can't actually access their database to read the journals.
