Kristen Lippincott

    Dr. Kristen Lippincott is een vooraanstaand figuur in de museumwereld, met een diepgaande expertise in de samensmelting van kunstgeschiedenis, cultuurgeschiedenis en wetenschapsgeschiedenis. Haar productieve geschriften verkennen deze onderling verbonden gebieden, waarbij ze vaak wetenschappelijke instrumenten en hun veranderende iconografie belicht. Lippincott's wetenschappelijk werk duikt in de historische en visuele verhalen die verweven zijn in wetenschappelijke concepten, met name duidelijk in haar werk over hemelcartografie. Haar lopende onderzoek zet deze verkenning voort en brengt de evolutie van de representaties en betekenissen van sterrenbeelden van de oudheid tot de Renaissance in kaart.

    • The Royal Observatory is one of the most famous historic features of Maritime Greenwich - a World Heritage Site. Situated where east meets west, the 'home of time' has been at the heart of nautical astronomy since the late 17th century, when Charles II commisioned Christopher Wren to design a building in which the first Astronomer Royal - John Flamsteed - could determine the 'longitude of places'. The author is the Deputy Director of the museum.
