NOESIS Science Center & Technology Museum

About this audio guide

This guide to NOESIS, the science center and technology museum in Thermi outside Thessaloniki, steps back to Alexandria in the first or second century and to Hero, an engineer who wrote down how to build wonders for temples. It follows a worshipper at a coin box, an altar fire, and temple doors, and asks where faith ends and engineering begins. Best heard standing among the hall's replicas of ancient Greek automata.
