The Neverland project draws on the past experience of the History of Physics Group starting in the 80’s and 90’s and aimed at the preservation, restoration and explanation through 3D multimedia of the old physics’ instruments, an experience that led to the foundation of the University (Science) Museum System. Interactive exhibitions were dedicated to Volta (1999), Einstein (an international cooperation in 2005 with Berlin and Jerusalem and with contributions from Oldenburg and Pisa), Galileo (2009), and the History of the energy conservation principle (2010). In all of these, high school students were trained to play the role of “explainers”, carrying out with younger students, colleagues, and general public a series of historical experiments. University students have coordinated the various activities. The youngest participants have been encouraged to develop forms of “artistic” expression based on the sensations and ideas experienced in their exposure to scientific activity.

Abstract
The Neverland project draws on the past experience of the History of Physics Group starting in the 80’s and 90’s and aimed at the preservation, restoration and explanation through 3D multimedia of the old physics’ instruments, an experience that led to the foundation of the University (Science) Museum System. Interactive exhibitions were dedicated to Volta (1999), Einstein (an international cooperation in 2005 with Berlin and Jerusalem and with contributions from Oldenburg and Pisa), Galileo (2009), and the History of the energy conservation principle (2010). In all of these, high school students were trained to play the role of “explainers”, carrying out with younger students, colleagues, and general public a series of historical experiments. University students have coordinated the various activities. The youngest participants have been encouraged to develop forms of “artistic” expression based on the sensations and ideas experienced in their exposure to scientific activity.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
