From the Wheel to Artificial Intelligence: a brief history of innovation – PART III – Rococo, 1st & 2nd Industrial Revolution

The third part of the modular exhibition “From the Wheel to Artificial Intelligence: a brief history of innovation” is dedicated to the Rococo period, the 1st and 2nd Industrial Revolution.

In the third exhibition spine we will experience the rich, “playful” and often exaggerated period of Rococo, exploring whether there really is a relationship between aesthetics and innovation and how does it work for society? We will then discover the two industrial revolutions, whose innovative inventions and discoveries, from steam to chemistry, evolved the world but were also used as weapons of war. On this historical journey, in the three exhibition rooms of JOIST, we will learn a lot about innovation and come into contact with critical dilemmas about its use, past, present and future.

The exhibition experiments with new technologies and museological approaches, creating a theatrical exhibition environment. It is addressed to audiences of all ages, as its aim is to help young and old alike to rediscover, in new ways, the world we live in!

The exhibition is organized with the support of the General Hospital of Larissa and the Museum Railway of Thessaly.
