Pera Kids
Ages 7-12
Have you heard of the astronomical measuring instrument called the astrolabon, which combines the words "star" and "to catch" in Ancient Greek? Children and their fathers, who tour The Art of Weights and Measures exhibition with a guided tour, get to know tools such as quadrant and astrolabe, which are measuring instruments used in astronomy, as well as determining time and direction in the past. Participants then design star-collars that can measure the latitude of their location when they go out on a cloudless night and point it towards the pole star.
Capacity: 10 children (and their fathers)
The event is free of charge. eservation is required.
The event will take place at the Pera Museum (face-to-face).

Martín Zapater y Clavería, born in Zaragoza on November 12th 1747, came from a family of modest merchants and was taken in to live with a well-to-do aunt, Juana Faguás, and her daughter, Joaquina de Alduy. He studied with Goya in the Escuelas Pías school in Zaragoza from 1752 to 1757 and a friendship arose between them which was to last until the death of Zapater in 1803.
