In Madrid, Spain, immerse yourself in the grandeur of a Greek trireme, an ancient naval vessel that revolutionized maritime warfare. Witness James Watt's genius at work in his Glasgow workshop as he enhances Thomas Newcomen's 1712 invention, paving the way for groundbreaking steam engines. A map of Gibraltar from the XVIIIth century takes us on a journey through time, showcasing how etchings captured intricate details long before photography. Transporting ourselves to New Orleans in 1881, we find ourselves on a bustling wharf along the mighty Mississippi River. The Paris exhibition comes alive under moonlit skies; its vibrant lights illuminating technological wonders that captivate visitors from around the globe. The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) reveals itself with armored cars and vehicles requisitioned by organizations fighting for their cause. Republican aviation soars above battlefields, showcasing advancements made during this tumultuous period. Traveling further back into history, we encounter Andre-Jacques Garnerin - a fearless balloonist and inventor who introduced frameless parachutes to humanity's awe-struck eyes. His lithograph captures both his daring spirit and innovative mind. Finally, Robert Fulton's North River Steamboat gracefully navigates through New York waters - an iconic symbol of progress that forever changed transportation as we know it. From ancient Greece to modern times, these glimpses into technological marvels remind us of humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of innovation throughout history.
