Tesla - man and researcher
In the first room, to the right from the etrance, there
is a bust of Tesla sculptured by Ivan Mestrovic. Tesla's words
about the exceptional profession of a researcher, truly exspressing
his life long commitment, are inscribed above the bust. In the
corner on the right-hand side, there is an enlarged photograph
of young Tesla while studying at Graz (Austria), and below the
photograph one can see three of his personal certificates, his
birth certificates, the marticulation certificate from the high-school
at Karlovac, and the passport he travelled to New York with in
1894. The photograph of his native house and of the church in
the village Smiljan in Lika, where his father was a Orthodox vicar,
conjures up the starting point of his life, which he had never
forgotten.
A choice of letters, on both sides of the photograph of his
native house, are the testimony of the highest credit given
to him by the world greatest scientists (Einstein, Crookes,
Kelvin, Roentgen, Millikan, Popov, Pupin, Lee de Forest, Compton,
Kennelly, Amstrong and others).
