DESCRIPTION

From the first agricultural revolution and the invention of the wheel to Revolution 4.0 and Artificial Intelligence, JOIST creates a modular exhibition that explores the concept of innovation, historically and conceptually.

JOIST’s exhibition space will host four “stops in time” exhibitions, exploring the needs that have led people to innovate over the centuries, what environments are conducive to innovation, and why societies embrace or not innovative ideas. Each exhibition will combine new technologies and unique exhibits and will be accompanied by a rich programme of events that promote the development and understanding of innovative thinking based on the concept of EduTainment.

  • Part Ι – Wheel & Gear
  • Part ΙΙ – Byzantium – Medieval West – Renaissance
  • Part ΙΙΙ – 1st & 2nd Technological Revolution
  • Part IV – Revolution 4.0
