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)
