I enjoyed the book printing museum most, especially learning about the lead cast letters used right after they were made and remelted to be cast again. I also liked how they recognized that Gutenberg did not have the first movable type press, the Chinese did for their official documents, but since Gutenberg`s press was the first to use movable, 26 (ish) letters standard, instead of the several hundred Korean (?) characters, it is recognized as the first movable type printing press. I also enjoyed that we visited some sites in the country/suburbs so we got to see more of the different French cultures (and cats and horses). I really enjoyed the hands on activities at the ampere museum, and it helped me understand what I have learned in class better.

I agree, the printing museum was the best site we've visited. I had no idea that the Koreans had invented a printing press before the Germans so that was really cool. Also the ampere house definitely drove home key EM principles.

ReplyDeleteI agree. Learning more about the first printing presses really drove home the concept of who gets credit for different inventions.
