Enter the mysterious world of sixteenth-century science, where astronomers and alchemists shared laboratories. In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus declared the earth revolved around the Sun, overturning centuries of scholastic presumption. A new age was coming into view - one guided by observation, technology and logic. But omens and elixirs did not disappear from the sixteenth-century laboratory.

Exploring its rich, multidisciplinary culture, Inside the Stargazer's Palace reveals a dazzling forgotten world, where all knowledge, no matter how arcane, could be pursued in good faith.
