ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
The National Air and Space Museum and the National Museum of American
History are collaborating on an exhibition on the history and continued
importance of time in navigation. The basic message: if you want to know
precisely where you are, you need an accurate clock. The exhibition will cover
the history of timekeeping and its relationship to navigation on the sea and the
land and in the air and in space, from the invention of the chronometer to
atomic clocks and GPS.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any particularly well done exhibitions on
this subject that are currently on view.
