Einstein's violin sold at a record price at a British auction

At an auction in Great Britain, a violin belonging to Albert Einstein was sold for £1.1 million (approximately $1.47 million). According to the Daily Mail, the starting price for this lot was set at $405,000, and the price increased several times during the trading process.

This rare instrument is considered the first violin that the scientist purchased in Germany in the 1890s. After the Nazis came to power, before leaving the country, Einstein handed over his violin to his colleague - Nobel Prize winner, physicist Max von Laue. Since then, the instrument has been preciously preserved as an artifact that combines scientific heritage and cultural value.

This result in sales showed that Einstein, known for his great world-discoveries, still had a passion for music and an interest in personal belongings. For collectors and fans, this is not only a historical memory, but also a valuable monument connecting science and art.
