At an auction held in Great Britain, a violin belonging to Albert Einstein was sold for 1.1 million pounds sterling. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This amount is approximately 1.47 million dollars. According to the Daily Mail publication, the starting price for this violin was set at 405 thousand dollars, but the price increased significantly during the auction.
This unique instrument is considered Einstein's first violin, which he purchased in Germany in the 1890s. After the Nazis came to power, before leaving the country, the scientist handed over his violin to his colleague, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max von Laue.
Since then, this instrument has been preserved as a valuable artifact with scientific heritage and cultural significance. The result of this auction demonstrated not only Einstein's major discoveries in cosmology but also his passion for music and interest in personal belongings.
For collectors and fans, this violin is not only historically significant but also a valuable memento connecting science and art. This instrument is noteworthy as a unique exhibit providing additional information about Einstein's personal life and scientific activity.
