I have been slightly obsessed with the Antikythera mechanism for a long time and it is super exciting to see it in real life.
It is a 2nd century BC Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar System). It could be used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. It could also be used to track the four-year cycle of the ancient Olympic Games.
