Description

The Museum of Physics was founded by Pious the Ninth in 1857 at the Archiginnasio della Sapienza and moved around 1880 to the Institute of Physics in via Panisperna and in 1936 to the new University Town. It keeps about 600 instruments and equipment of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century, regarding mechanics, acoustics, optics, spectrography, and radioactivity. It includes pendulum-clocks, hydrostatic scales, electromagnetic instruments, electrostatic machines, galvanometers, and spectroscopes. Ample space is dedicated to the researches by Enrico Fermi and his collaborators, known as the "ragazzi di via Panisperna" (boys of via Panisperna), Rasetti, E. Segrè, E. Amaldi, and B. Pontecorvo. The Museum performs also works of historical research and didactic activities.
