The Historic Galileo Telescope kit

The oldest telescope in the world is a leather-bound show piece with golden ornaments made for Cosimo II de Medici, which now is on show in Florence. With this beautiful and historically accurate cardboard replica you can experience the great achievements of Galileo yourself. Although the performance of this historic telescope is not comparable to modern ones, it is fully functional and emphasises Galileo’s accomplishments.

High quality cardboard kit with four colour and gold print, complete with glass lenses for 12x magnification and a wall/desktop mount.

Length of the telescope: 78 cm
