Josef Ressel was born in 1793 in Crudim, Bohemia, and died in 1857 in Ljubljana. In addition to being a great inventor – he was granted the patent for the invention of a ship’s screw - he was also active in the field of forestry, and a great many other fields of technical engineering. By displaying many of Ressel's inventions and patents, the exhibition in the Technical Museum of Slovenia presents to the public the universal creativity of this great mind.
By displaying the statue of Josef Ressel, a video about his time, life and work, a working model of ship's screw, twenty exhibition panels and nine models of his inventions and patents, the exhibition tries to present diversity and creativity of his work.
