Galileo's Egg

Here is Galileo Galilei depicted by the magical creators at Ten31 Productions. Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaulti de Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer, sometimes described as a polymath, from Pisa.

The Mondrian Elevator

Many of the design elements at the WaterFire Arts Center, including our bright blue elevator, were inspired by the paintings made by Piet Mondrian in the early 20th century. The geometric forms in his paintings and the regular patterns formed the windows and other divisions within the building are products of modernist movements in painting and architecture during this time period.

Dark Side of the Egg

The Dark Side of the Moon is the eighth studio album by English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 1 March 1973 by Harvest Records.

What many people call the dark side of the Moon is more accurately referred to as the far side of the Moon.  The far side of the Moon is the hemisphere of the Moon that always faces away from Earth.
