Přístroje a pomůcky z Klementina ve sbírce Národního technického muzea
Scientific Instruments and Aids from the Clementinum in the Collections of the National Technical Museum

Summary/Abstract: The National Technical Museum keeps a collection of important scientific instruments and aids which were originally used and kept in the Clementinum in Prague. In 1951, the museum had received 82 items, which were included in its collections on astronomy, land surveying, physics, and measurement of time. The most notable instruments from this set are part of permanent exhibitions on astronomy and measurement of time. Importance of this cultural heritage is further attested by the fact that in 2016, two instruments belonging to this acquisition, namely sextants which had belonged to J. Bürgi and Erasmus Habermel, received the status of national cultural heritage.
