Tapestry «Through the Northern Prism»

At the heart of the tapestry is the image of a young Lomonosov: a boy from the northern region who does not yet know he will become a great scientist, but already views the world through the eyes of an explorer. In his hand is not a magnifying glass, but a piece of green glass—a simple shard of glass through which he first sees the world differently.
Lomonosov will become one of the first to transform glass into a subject of serious physicochemical investigation.
