Aldawin's medieval clock
Antique wooden globe
The first globe, the Beheim globe
The diameter of the Beiheim globe is 51 centimeters, and the decoration is luxurious. In records from 1494, the production of this ball was particularly time-consuming and laborious. In 1992, Nuremberg conducted a detailed study on the material of this ball, and its report stated that the production process was indeed quite complex. This is a mixture of old and new geographical knowledge, with ancient Greek speculations about the world, medieval geographical ideas, and new results of maritime exploration all visible. It became a model for drawing world images in central Europe at that time, and one of the few remaining map works in the world that collected different mapping methods and schools.
