Glass, concrete and steel - those are the materials that will "shelter" for a month the exhibits, the dumb witnesses of the passing time, that will tell their story of a drop...(Photos from a visit of FCHT on Thursday 16.7.2009 for preparation of the Pardubice exhibition).
BRNO 21.10. – 8.11.2009 (opening 20.10.2009) .

Even the Brno exhibition will have its special features - the space of the Nicolaus Copernicus observatory and planetarium has no right angles, the walls are "roundish". The story of a drop and Jaroslav Heyrovský will be installed in the space where at present is the exhibition "400 years since Galileo" (Photos from 8.7.2009 when the space was inspected for preparation of the exhibition).
PRAGUE 2.12. 2009 – 18.12.2009 (opening 1.12.2009).
Charles University - building of Carolinum (corridor of the Cross), Ovocný trh, Prague 1.
The exhibits, for visitors perhaps rather "heavy" as far as the topic is concerned, for the organizers are heavy because of their weight which had to be transferred.
Among us, who decided to prepare the material for exhibition reminding of 50th anniversary of Nobel Prize to Jaroslav Heyrovský for polarography, the story of a drop originated more than a year ago, i.e., at the beginning of 2008. (Photo taken in the J.H.Institute during preparation of the exhibits by the team Dr K.Stejskalová, Dr M.Heyrovský and Dr R.Kalvoda).
