1 THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE A TOUR FOR THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF NSW IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE STATE LIBRARY OF NSW FOUNDATION SEPTEMBER 19 OCTOBER 4, 2019 TOUR LEADER: EM PROF. ROBERT CLANCY

2 THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE Tour dates: September 19 October 4, 2019 Tour leader: Em Prof. Robert Clancy Tour Price: $9,270 per person, twin share Single Supplement: $2,280 for sole use of double room Booking deposit: $500 per person Recommended airline: Emirates or Qatar Maximum places: 20 Itinerary: Padua (2 nights), Florence (4 nights), Paris (4 nights), London (5 nights) Date published: September 10, 2018 Overview Explore the history of science from Vesalius in Padua, to Galileo in Florence and the flourishing of modern science in Paris and London. This 16-day tour, designed for the Royal Society of NSW in conjunction with The State Library of NSW Foundation, includes guided visits to many exceptional museums, rare access to collections, libraries and archival material, and the expert guidance of specialists and curators. The tour begins in Padua, home of one of Europe s oldest universities and the first to specialise in medicine. The insights gained by guided visits to World Heritage-listed sites, such as the oldest anatomy theatre and the oldest surviving botanic gardens, are complemented by an exploration of the broader culture, including the ground-breaking realism and naturalism of Giotto s Scrovegni Chapel, that shaped the Renaissance revolution in the sciences. We continue with four nights in Florence, exploring the development of science in the High Renaissance with Galileo, and looking at how cities such as Florence and Siena sought to implement the latest advances to the benefit of the poorest and most vulnerable members of society, and how Renaissance artists engaged with science to create their masterpieces. In Paris and London we follow the successive centuries of radical changes in the sciences, from the experiments of Foucault and Lavosier, through to Darwin and modern medicine. Visits to exceptional museums, such as London s Science Museum, are complemented by a host of smaller, lessvisited sites, to tell the great story of modern science and reveal sides of these cities most travellers miss. Your tour leader Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy is a member of the Royal Society of NSW and the Royal Society of Medicine. He has had a distinguished career as a clinical researcher in mucosal immunology and oral vaccines, and was the Foundation Professor of Pathology at Newcastle University.

3 Tour Highlights PADUA AND BOLOGNA Padua and Bologna are the two oldest universities in Europe and, as such, have played a central role in the development of the sciences and the protection of those who sought to upset the perceived order of things. Explore the first anatomy theatre and the oldest Botanic Gardens in Padua, and enjoy the quiet medieval majesty of Bologna and its red arcades. RENAISSANCE SCIENCE Look beyond but don t scratch - the exquisite surface of Renaissance art, and the extent to which science was part and parcel of the Renaissance world. See masterpieces by the greats in a new light, and explore the relationship between science and art, and understand how Renaissance leaders used the latest science to enrich the lives of their people. ANOTHER SIDE OF PARIS See a different side of Paris, visiting museums dedicated to Louis Pasteur and Marie Curie, exploring the applied sciences at the Arts et Metiers, hidden gems such as the Musée de la Chasse and the Fragonard, that explore philosophy and science simultaneously with typically French aplomb, and enjoy a private visit of the Pompidou, Paris museum of modern art. LONDON SCIENCE Few cities are as rich with the history of science as London, from the world-leading Science Museum, to the Royal Institute, whose collection includes numerous breakthroughs in technology, and the private collections and archives of esteemed bodies. Our time in London includes visiting Greenwich, the ground zero for the measurement of time and space, and a day trip to Cambridge. BEHIND THE SCENES Experts in the field not only know the material backwards, but also have the keys or know who has to open doors to collections and archives not usually accessible to the public. Enjoy expert guidance by specialists and curators, access to special materials and like-minded company throughout the tour, as we help you see what most can only glean in reproduction.

4 Detailed itinerary Included meals are shown with the symbols B, L and D. Tour start & finish time The tour begins at 4.30pm in Padua, on Thursday 19 September, in the hotel lobby. The tour ends after breakfast at the hotel in London, on Friday 4 October. Above: Padua s World Heritage-listed Botanic Gardens Below: The Scrovegni Chapel, a masterpiece by Giotto, is considered to be the most complete series of frescoes executed in his mature age; and a view over Bologna Europe s oldest university, established in the Middle Ages Thursday 19 September Arrival The tour begins in the hotel in the late afternoon, when we meet for a stroll around Padua, followed by dinner in a local restaurant. (D) Friday 20 September Padua Padua s university is among the oldest in Europe, and the first to specialise in medicine. Today we explore the birth of modern science in Padua, beginning with the Scrovegni chapel, a masterpiece by Giotto whose realism and naturalism heralded a different way of looking at the world around us. We then tour the University of Padua, seeing the podium from which Galileo lectured and the oldest surviving anatomy theatre. In the afternoon, we visit Padua s World Heritage-listed Botanic Gardens, the oldest surviving garden of its type, which began as a simples garden and developed in the Renaissance to a genuinely modern botanic garden. Our tour includes its fabulous new garden of biodiversity, in which 1,300 species show how plants have helped make human history. Overnight, Padua. (B) Saturday 21 September Bologna Bologna is Europe s oldest university, and was established in the Middle Ages to teach canon and civil law. Today its campuses are spread throughout the city, whose red-stone arcades, cafes and medieval buildings accentuate the calm, leisurely atmosphere of a thriving university town. Our visit includes a tour of the University s Palazzo Poggi, the historic seat of Bologna s Academy of Sciences, and the medieval centre. In the afternoon, we visit the museum devoted to the city s premier modern artist, Giorgio Morandi, whose still life paintings offer a meditation against the pace of modern life. In the later afternoon, we continue by coach to Florence. Dinner is in an excellent local restaurant. Overnight, Florence. (B, D) Sunday 22 September Galileo The Medici Grand Dukes, who ruled Tuscany from the 16 th -18 th centuries, were avid supporters of science (some of them were

5 also keen practitioners too). The most famous scientist they patronised and protected from the hands of the detractors was Galileo, who lived and worked in Florence for long periods throughout his life. This morning we have a guided visit of the Galileo Museum, which contains some of Galileo s telescopes and other scientific apparata, as well as a fine collection of navigational and cartographic instruments, which reflect Florence s key role in the birth of modern cartography. The afternoon is free and you may wish to visit some of Florence s excellent museums, such as the recently renovated Museo del Opera del Duomo, with masterpieces by Donatello, Ghiberti and Michelangelo. Overnight Florence (B) Monday 23 September Siena Today we step back in time to the late Middle Ages, to explore the culture that laid the foundations for a recognisably modern society based on democratic participation in politics and commerce. In Siena we visit the Palazzo Pubblico, the town hall of the independent republic of Siena, to see the wonderful frescoes of Lorenzetti, which allegorise good and bad government and their effects. In the afternoon, we see how this society sat side-by-side with religious devotion, by visiting the Cathedral, with its 16th-century library painted by the master of Raphael, and Santa Maria della Scala, the publically funded pilgrim hospice that became one of Europe s first modern hospitals. In the evening, we return to Florence, stopping to enjoy dinner in the Chianti valley. Overnight Florence (B, D) Tuesday 24 September Art, science & welfare in Florence There is much more to Florence than the great artists of the Renaissance. This morning we explore other aspects of the city s remarkable history. At Santa Maria Nuova and the Ospedale degl Innocenti the foundling hospital - we see how Renaissance Florentines applied contemporary science to the welfare of the city s poor and vulnerable. Our visits include access to area not normally accessible to the public, including the archive of the Innocenti. In the afternoon we continue exploring the city s relationship to science at the Uffizi, with a guided tour focussed on science in Renaissance art, which reveals the extent to which the arts and sciences cross pollinated each other during the Renaissance. Overnight Florence (B) Above: Galileo s telescopes on display in Florence s Museo Galileo; and Siena s town hall, emblem of the medieval city-state Below: the peculiar mummified man on horseback in the Musée Fragonard d Alfort Wednesday 25 September To Paris This morning we take the short, direct flight from Florence to Paris. In the afternoon, we visit two exceptional museums in Paris focussed on our relationship to the natural world: the Musée Fragonard d Alfort and the Musée de la Chasse. The Fragonard has the best collections of veterinary and comparative anatomy in Paris, along with some very peculiar pieces including a mummified man on horseback deliberately fashioned after a woodcut by Durer. The Musée de la Chasse,

6 another little-visited gem whose curation is among the most highly praised in Paris, explores the relationship between people and animals through the lens of hunting. In the late afternoon, we check into our hotel. Evening at leisure. Overnight Paris (B) Above: the colourful Pompidou Centre this was one of the first of Paris modernist buildings, built partly in response to the youth revolution of 1968 and intended to show that France could embrace modernity Below: Lavosier s laboratory on display in the Musée des Arts et Metiers; and the view from the top level the Grand Gallery of Evolution Thursday 26 September Arts and Sciences in Paris As the intellectual centre of Europe from the 17th to 20th centuries, Paris has been the epicentre of movements that have shaped the modern world. This morning we enjoy a private, before hours visit of the Pompidou, Paris Museum of Modern Art, with its exceptional collection of masterpieces by artists who ushered the greatest changes in visual arts since the Renaissance. After our tour, there is time to explore the Marais district, before we meet to visit the Musée des Arts et Metiers, whose collections include Lavosier s laboratory, Foucault s pendulum, applied sciences and marvels of engineering from the modern age. The evening is at leisure. Overnight Paris. (B) Friday 27 September Bibliotheque National, and Medicine in Paris This morning we have a special visit to the collections of the Bibliothéque National, during which we see a selection of the manuscripts, maps and collections devoted to science and cartography. In the afternoon we explore the history of medicine in Paris, with visits to three excellent small museums devoted to Marie Curie, Louis Pasteur and the collection of the Descartes Medical University. This evening we enjoy dinner at a fine Paris restaurant. Overnight Paris. (B, D) Saturday 28 September Natural Sciences The contribution to the natural sciences made by France are often overlooked in the Anglophone world, and is almost always neglected by the millions of tourists who visit Paris each year. Today we explore the natural sciences by visiting the accretion of museums around Paris Jardin des Plantes, including the Grand Gallery of Evolution and the Museum of Natural Science. You may wish to also visit the Great Mosque over the road. Built in 1926 to honour the Muslim soldiers who fought for France in WWI, it is a wondrous fusion of Art Nouveau and Islamic architecture. The afternoon is at leisure. Overnight Paris (B) Sunday 29 September Darwin This morning we take the Eurostar to London. On arrival at St Pancras, we will travel by coach to Down House in Kent, the family home of Charles Darwin and where he wrote Origin of Species. The house and gardens have been kept in excellent condition, and provide insight into the life, times and scientific endeavours of one of the most revolutionary figures in the history of science. In the later afternoon, we travel by coach to

7 Chandos House in London. Designed by Robert Adam, it is owned by the Royal Society of Medicine, and it is where we ll reside for the next five nights. Overnight London. (B) Monday 30 September London Science London has some of the world s best science museums, including a number of smaller ones owned by esteemed institutions or dedicated to the work of individual scientists. We begin our tour today with a visit to the Wellcome Collection it is one of London s most innovative museums, and it aims to foster discussion about health and wellbeing. The heart of the exhibition is the collection of Sir Henry Wellcome, who invented invisible ink and the tablet as an easy means of delivering medicine from the pharmacy to the stomach. We continue our tour with a visit to the archive and gallery of the Royal Institute. The heritage building and museum have been home to centuries of England s brightest minds and our tour includes a visit to the Faraday Museum which, in addition to Faraday s basement laboratory, has other iconic inventions in its care, including the original vacuum flask and the world s first laser. Evening at leisure. Overnight London (B) Tuesday 1 October Greenwich The accurate measurement of time and location is the foundations of modern navigation, and Greenwich was chosen by Sir Christopher Wren as the place to build the Royal Observatory to enable both. Its importance to British maritime interests was reinforced by the transition of the Greenwich naval hospital into the Royal Naval College, where generations of naval officers trained. Today we visit Greenwich to take a walking tour exploring its history and visiting the Royal Observatory, followed by some time at leisure to enjoy the museums. In the mid-afternoon, we return to central London along the Thames. Evening at leisure. Overnight London. (B) Wednesday 2 October Cambridge Today we take a day trip to Cambridge, to explore the history of the university and to visit its exceptional museums. Our tour includes a guided visit of the Sedgwick Museum - Cambridge s oldest museum, whose foundation predates the geologist after which it is named for its historic collections of fossils, geological and mineralogical specimens. The import of the earth sciences in the broader history of science is often underestimated, but what geologists such as Sedgwick revealed about the age and formation of the earth was vitally important to the paradigm shift epitomised by Darwin s theories. After touring the Sedgwick and other museums in Cambridge, we return to London. Evening at leisure. Overnight London. (B) Images right: the New Court of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, was established in 1352; and visitors to Cambridge s Sedgwick Museum of Geology are greeted by a dinosaur skeleton

8 Thursday 3 October The Science Museum London s Science Museum is one of the finest in the world, for both its collections, which cater for all ages and interests, and its excellent curation. Today we have a guided visit of the museum with David Rooney, celebrated author, former Keeper of Technologies and Engineering of the Science Museum, and former curator Timekeeping at the Royal Observatory. Our tour of the museum with David ends at the Clockmakers museum, housed inside the Science Museum, after which the afternoon is free for you to further explore these vast collections. In the early evening we enjoy a farewell meal at a superior London restaurant. Overnight, London (B, D) Friday 4 October Departure The tour ends in the hotel after breakfast this morning.
