Ernest Solvay (1838-1922)
Ernest Solvay, a scientific entrepreneur’s quest for an all-embracing system
"On 26 May 1922, Ernest Solvay, scientific entrepreneur and humanist, passed away. Today, the Mundaneum and the Solvay group pay him homage through a virtual exhibition on the Google Arts & Culture platform. This digital partnership echoes the very real collaboration of Solvay with Henri La Fontaine and Paul Otlet, more than a century ago."
