Medieval Europe 

 Europe is a continent in the northern hemisphere, bordered by the Atlantic ocean, Mediterranean sea, and the continent of Asia. The medieval time period took place between the fall of Rome in 476 A.D., and around the 1500s. There were many inventions during that time period that shaped the culture and changed the way people lived. In this museum you will learn about each invention that had its own individual impact on Medieval Europe. Eyeglasses were used as a solution to eyesight problems and allowed people to see and read in old age. Chainmail was used to protect soldiers in battle and deflecting blows from arrows and swords. Waterwheels and windmills harnessed natural resources like running water and wind to produce power.
