"Today we inaugurate a new exhibition, in which we want to attract the entire educational community, because we know that it is an added attraction to see how the history of the book has evolved," said Susana Rivas, who stressed that "this year we wanted to go beyond and focus on science, because books are sources of knowledge." "Encourage citizens in general and the educational community in particular to visit this exhibition so you can appreciate how books have also moved us the evolution of science," she said.
For his part, Jesús Romero stressed that "for this year we were looking at several options and finally decided to exhibit on science books. Thus, we have divided the sample in such a way that we can make a story from those early babblings of science in the Renaissance to the contemporary era." "Here we have all areas of knowledge, from the universe to other issues such as plants, animals, humans, medicine, and so on," said the director of the Museum of Chiclana.
