BSS 2015 Nikola Tesla museum

Muzej Nikole Tesle



Visiting a museum,  which is dedicated to the most famous Serb of all times, is an essential part of BSS programme. We visited Nikola Tesla museum as a part of our half-day trips and we were welcomed there by a very hospitable and polite curator who was eager to answer all the questions our students had.
Nikola Tesla museum is the only place which preserves Tesla`s personal and original inheritance. It has several exceptionally valuable  collections including original documents, books and journals, tehnical and historical exhibits, plans and drawings.
We started our tour in the room where we found out something more about Tesla, his origin  and the very beginning of his life. Then we continued with looking at Tesla`s personal belongings  exhibited in the show-cases.  The urn with Tesla`s ashes is in the gold-plated sphere on the marble pedestal. The curiousity that we weren`t familiar with was the fact that Tesla`s last wish was to have a famous Serbian song `Tamo daleko`sung at his funeral. Our students were delighted by the fairy tale  on electricity in which Tesla in an inspiring way speaks about how the human mind entered the world of electricity. What really impressed and pleased our students were interactive workshops such as holding fluoroscent oscillator which lights up when close to Tesla`s transformator or touching electricity Tesla was a master of.

Our students were happy to have learnt something new about Nikola Tesla and they completely agreed with the words of a famous American inventor E.Armstrong who said that ` the world will have to wait for a long time for Nikola Tesla`s equal in achievement and imagination`.

Poseta muzeju, koji je posvećen najpoznatijem Srbinu svih vremena,  nezaobilazni je deo kulturnog dela Belgrade Summer School-a.  Posetili smo muzej u sklopu poludnevnog izleta i tamo nas je dočekao predusretljiv i vrlo srdačan kustos koji je bio spreman da odgovori na sva pitanja naših studenata iz inostranstva.
Muzej Nikole Tesle je jedini muzej koji čuva ličnu i originalnu zaostavštvinu poznatog naučnika. Poseduje vredne kolekcije originalnih dokumenata, knjiga, časopisa. istorijsko-tehničkih eksponata, planova i crteža.
Započeli smo razgledanje u sobi u kojoj smo se upoznali sa Teslom, njegovim poreklom i  početkom njegovog životnog puta. Zatim smo nastavili sa razgledanjem Teslinih ličnih predmeta izloženih u vitrinama. U muzeju se nalazi i urna sa naučnikovim posmrtnim ostacima. Jedan od svojevrsnih kurioziteta kog smo saznali je i Teslina poslednja želja: da mu na sahrani sviraju čuvenu pesmu “Tamo daleko”.
Naši polaznici su bili oduševljeni bajkom o elektricitetu u kojoj Tesla sa naročitim nadahnućem pripoveda kako je ljudski um u toku istorije postepeno prodirao u tajne elektriciteta. Ono što je zadivilo i uveselilo naše goste su interaktivne radionice kao što je držanje neonke koja u neposrednoj blizini Teslinog transformatora počinje da svetli u rukama ili pak doticanje elektriciteta kojim je Tesla gospodario.
Naši učenici su nakon završene posete muzeju bili zadovoljni što su naučili nešto novo o Nikoli Tesli i složili se sa rečima američkog pronalazača Armstronga da će “ svet još dugo morati da čeka na um ravan Teslinom, po stvaralačkim mogućnostima i po bogatstvu mašte“.
