Art Gallery Galileo

About

Walking along the stone path flowing through the old streets of Lucca, the moment a fragment of light crosses a corner, a space where past and present intersect is revealed. The windows encircling the ceiling let in Lucca's sunlight just as it is, casting warm light down upon the star charts and measuring instruments hand-drawn by scientists of the past. This is not merely an exhibition space, but a place in time where the history of Lucca breathes. In this space, where past knowledge and present sensibility intersect, the heart flows along with the light. As the landscape of Lucca flows along the walls of this museum, the visitor's gaze flows back into the past as well.
