Website celebrating the 400th anniversary of Johannes Hevelius's birth

November 5, 2010

We have created an information website for the Hewelianum Center on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Hevelius.

The entire website has been dedicated to the figure of John Hevelius in connection with the 400th anniversary of the astronomer's birth, which will be celebrated throughout 2011. The website contains information addressed to three different target audiences: children, people scientifically interested in the celebrations and residents who want to learn about the events related to the Celebration of the Year of John Hevelius. On the website, Internet users can learn about the life of Hevelius and learn about the astronomical instruments he created. The portal is divided into three zones: scientific, cultural and entertainment and children's. Each of them will contain a lot of educational materials, which will be successively posted along with current events planned by the Hewelianum Center for 2011. In the gallery you can view photos from previous years from Hevelius Week. The website was created for image, information and educational purposes. The platform is intended to serve the purpose of communication between the organizers and the inhabitants of the Tricity during the Year of Hevelius in 2011. The website includes a calendar, thanks to which you can check what is currently happening in connection with the event. You can also read reports from cultural trails, i.e. meetings of young people with the history of Gdańsk. We have implemented our own content management system CMS on the website, thanks to which the customer can constantly update information on events related to the Year of Hevelius.
