Discovering the "MIRABILIA GRAPHICA" exhibition: a family workshop on the microscope

3 October 2026 11:00

Fondazione CR Firenze and Museo Galileo invite you to discover the exhibition "MIRABILIA GRAPHICA. Ignazio Muligino’s Micrographic Calligrams" through a series of free activities, including educational workshops for children and guided tours.
Children will have the opportunity to discover the history of the microscope, an instrument created to observe objects invisible to the naked eye. With the help of special lenses, they will be able to observe incredible minuscule writing up close, as well as insects, leaves, and everyday objects, which will transform into surprising worlds to observe under the microscope.
A fun challenge awaits them at the end: writing in smaller and smaller characters, shaping drawings made of letters and imagination.

The activity is in Italian language

Duration: 1 hour – max 12 children aged 7 to 12 (the presence of one adult per child is required during the activities)

Reservations required, subject to availability
