Opening of the exhibition Every Millimeter Counts, Geodesy in Slovenia through Time took place on Wednesday, 18. 5. 2022, at the Depots of State Museums (Park of Military History Pivka).
Intriguing and informative exhibition chronologically presents the milestones in the development of geodesy and explains concepts related to geodesy and cartography. It walks through the two-hundred-year history of the land cadastre in Slovenia and illustrates geodesy applications in practice. In our everyday lives, it is vital in construction, engineering, surveying, remote sensing, agriculture, research and study of cultural heritage, and, last but not least, in the military. This aspect is linked to the Park of Military History Pivka, the exhibition’s venue. In addition to panels and more than twenty geodetic instruments and other museum objects displayed in showcases, the exhibition also includes multimedia displays and a 3D interactive presentation of the contents. To bring geodesy and its professional terminology closer to the visitors, the exhibition’s authors have also created a glossary, which appeals to the younger audience with its exciting illustrations.
The exhibition was prepared in collaboration with Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia, the Association of Surveyors of Slovenia and the Department of Geodetic Engineering at the Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering, University of Ljubljana.
On view until December 18, 2022.
