ALBERT EINSTEIN MAN OF THE CENTURY |
||
|
A major exhibition at Camden’s Jewish
Museum Albert Einstein was undoubtedly one of the most prominent thinkers of the twentieth century and the man who shaped and transformed the way we understand our universe. In 1905, his annus mirabilis, he published his three groundbreaking papers resolving some of the fundamental issues baffling scientists at the time. To celebrate the centenary, the Jewish Museum in Camden Town presents an exciting and humorous exhibition that illuminates key aspects of Einstein’s character, life and career. It runs from 15 September – 8 January 2006… This captivating exhibition will explore intriguing aspects of Einstein’s life that continue to fascinate today. As a pre-eminent physicist, he radically transformed our understanding of the universe. As an ardent humanist, he took an active and outspoken stance on the significant political and social issues of his time. As a committed Jew, he advocated a distinctive moral role. Einstein’s |
 Pic courtesy Albert Einstein archives, Jewish National and University Library, Hebrew University of Jerusalem role as a universal cultural icon – chosen recently by TIME Magazine as "Person of the Century" - will be examined through a fascinating range of cartoons, letters, documents and objects gathered for the exhibition. The exhibition also reveals Einstein’s troubled personal life, his political and religious views and his identity as a Jew and a refugee. He had extensive interests besides science and was a keen sailor, cyclist and above all, a music lover and passable violinist. The exhibition illuminates little-known corners of a rich life, for example the many letters Einstein received |
from
children who were as intrigued by his unruly hairstyle as
they were eager to find answers to questions about the
universe! The exhibition also features facsimiles of
some of the seminal scientific documents of the twentieth
century, including the E=MC² document and
other historic items such as Einstein’s correspondence with
President Roosevelt discussing the feasibility of nuclear
weapons. Einstein appears in all his many facets and can be
understood not only as a great scientist, but also as a
husband and father, philosopher and humanist. A wide-ranging programme of talks, discussions and creative workshops for children accompanies the exhibition, in association with the Friends of the Hebrew University.
