MARYLAND
October 16, 2011 - January 01, 2012.
Exhibit -- Lost and Found: The Secrets of Archimedes
In Jerusalem in 1229 AD, the greatest works of the Greek mathematician Archimedes were erased and overwritten with a prayer book by a priest called Johannes Myronas. In the year 2000, a project was begun by a team of experts at the Walters Art Museum to read these erased texts. By the time they had finished, the team that worked on the book had recovered Archimedes' secrets, rewritten the history of mathematics and discovered entirely new texts from the ancient world. This exhibition will tell that famous story. It will recount the history of the book, detail the patient conservation, explain the cutting-edge imaging and highlight the discoveries of the dogged and determined scholars who finally read what had been obliterated.
Walters Art Museum, 600 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD. Open: Wednesday-Sunday, 10 A.M.-5 P.M. General admission is free. Special exhibitions, such as “Lost & Found” are paid, ticketed events.
