The Art of Weather Instruments Foundation
+
+ Preserving the Beauty and Function of Historical Weather Instruments
+
+ The mission of the foundation is to preserve and expand the distinguished collection of
+ historical meteorological instruments assembled with dedication and expertise by its
+ founder, Leo Shirokov, in doing so fostering, promoting, and safeguarding the traditions
+ of decorative, applied, and artisanal arts, with a particular emphasis on Europe's
+ cultural and scientific heritage, and encouraging international collaboration and the
+ exchange of knowledge.
+
+
The foundation seeks to achieve its objectives through:
+
+
+ conducting research, attribution, and provenance documentation for each item in the
+ collection, and presenting it on a publicly accessible platform showcasing the
+ foundation's collection at barometers.info
+
+
organizing exhibitions, lectures, and presentations
+
collaborating with museums, collectors, researchers, and cultural institutions
+
restoring and conserving artifacts
+
+ publishing and disseminating printed and digital materials, including the founder's
+ authored works on the history of barometers and subsequent publications of the
+ foundation
+
+
+
+ Particular attention is given to the scholarly quality, public accessibility, and cultural
+ relevance of the foundation's activities.
+
+
+
+
Message from the Founder
+
+ 'My journey into the world of antique barometers and other meteorological artifacts began
+ as a deeply personal quest — a way to connect with the beauty, ingenuity, and spirit of
+ past centuries. What started as a personal passion has grown into a cultural mission. I
+ founded The Art of Weather Instruments Foundation and developed it into a
+ cultural project dedicated to preserving and expanding this unique heritage, making it
+ accessible to collectors, researchers, designers, students, and the wider public.'
+
+
+ 'This is not merely a private collection, but a living encyclopedia of the history of
+ science and aesthetics. These instruments are more than scientific tools — they are
+ tangible connections to the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and artistry of past centuries. By
+ investing your attention, time, or resources, you help ensure that this legacy is
+ documented, accessible, and alive, continuing to inspire future generations around the
+ world.'
+
+
+ 'It is not simply a “display” — it is a comprehensive platform that connects people with
+ history through real, physical objects. In a world where the digital often displaces the
+ tangible, my project offers access to things that can be seen, understood, and experienced
+ as part of our material culture. It preserves the traditions of craftsmanship and design,
+ and in doing so, works not only to safeguard the past but also to inspire the future — for
+ artisans, artists, engineers, historians, and all who value the meeting of science and
+ beauty.'

Policy Plan
+
+
+ The Art of Weather Instruments Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization
+ dedicated to the preservation, study, and promotion of historical meteorological
+ instruments as part of Europe's cultural and scientific heritage.
+
+
+ The Foundation's mission is to provide access to a collection of exceptional artistic
+ and historical value, comprising meteorological measuring instruments from various
+ periods, along with associated documents, contextual data, and accumulated expertise.
+ This access is intended for the general public, researchers, collectors, and museum
+ institutions — both in physical and digital form.
+
+
Strategy
+
The Foundation aims to:
+
+
+ Ensure the safeguarding and long-term conservation of meteorological instruments and
+ related documents as carriers of scientific, artisanal, and cultural history
+
+
+ Research the provenance, dating, stylistic, and technical characteristics of the
+ collection's objects, including attribution and provenance documentation
+
+
+ Carry out professional cataloguing and systematic classification of the collection
+ according to museum standards
+
+
+ Provide digital access to the collection via the website{' '}
+
+ www.barometers.info
+
+ , including imagery and descriptions
+
+
+ Collaborate with museums, archives, private collectors, scientific institutions,
+ restorers, and cultural heritage funds
+
+
+ Foster public interest in meteorology as a visual, historical, and educational
+ phenomenon
+
+
+ Develop publications — catalogues, scholarly and popular science articles, books, and
+ studies on the collection and its broader context
+
+
+ Explore the possibility of establishing, in the future, an independent museum or
+ permanent exhibition space dedicated to meteorological instruments, with the aim of
+ engaging the public with the history of science, technology, and aesthetics in an
+ accessible and inspiring manner
+
+
+
Activity plan
+
Over the next three years, the Foundation intends to:
+
+
+ Further expand the collection with objects of high historical value, rarity, or
+ uniqueness — including prototypes, signature works by renowned makers, and
+ under-documented types of instruments
+
+
+ Undertake restoration of instruments when necessary, in cooperation with qualified
+ professionals and in accordance with ethical heritage preservation guidelines
+
+
+ Develop and integrate a digital collection management database into the public website
+
+
+ Compile provenance dossiers and connect objects with their makers, owners, and
+ historical contexts
+
+
+ Organize temporary and online exhibitions in cooperation with other institutions
+
+
Prepare, edit, and publish knowledge-based materials on the collection
+
+ Inventory historical literature and archives, embedding them into the broader
+ knowledge framework of instrument production and distribution
+
+
+ Invite external experts and authors to contribute to research and public engagement
+
+
+ Participate in grant programs, strengthen international networks, and represent the
+ Foundation at relevant scientific and cultural forums
+
