Einstein's Ancient Violin Put Up for Auction
In Great Britain, scientist Albert Einstein's first and oldest violin was put up for auction. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to experts, the price of this musical instrument could reach up to 405 thousand dollars. This was reported by The Telegraph.
Einstein bought the violin in the mid-1890s, before moving from Munich to Switzerland. The famous scientist's first instrument was hidden during World War II.
An interesting fact about the violin is that the word "Lina" is engraved on its surface. Later, Einstein handed this violin along with other belongings to his colleague Max von Laue.
Twenty years later, Max von Laue gifted the instrument to the scientist's admirer, Margareta Homrich from Braunschweig. This violin was kept in Margareta's family for many years.
Finally, her grandchild decided to put the ancient violin up for auction.
