Amidst the industrial revolution, a poor Swiss factory worker toils away against the backdrop of Pradier's engravings, dreaming of a world beyond the grind. Meanwhile, Swiss-born luminaries like Paracelsus and Agassiz illuminate the realms of medicine and natural sciences, inspiring curiosity and exploration. Sapho's last statue and the Light of Astronomy panel in the Spectrum of Light ceiling mural ignite the imagination, as the Swiss revolution of 1307 echoes in the distance. Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz's expedition in the Alps, guided by Jacob Leuthold, testifies to the relentless pursuit of knowledge, proving that even the humblest beginnings can lead to great discoveries.
