Whipple Museum of the History of Science

The Whipple Museum of the History of Science is a Museum joined to the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom, which houses a broad gathering of logical instruments, device, models, pictures, prints, photos, books and other material identified with the historical backdrop of science.

It is situated in the previous Perse School on Free School Lane, and was established in 1944, when Robert Whipple exhibited his gathering of logical instruments to the University of Cambridge.

The Museum's accumulation is 'assigned' by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council MLA as being of "national and universal significance".

The Museum is one of eight galleries in the University of Cambridge Museums consortium. The exhibition hall's possessions are especially solid in material dating from the seventeenth to the nineteenth hundreds of years, particularly questions created by English instrument producers, despite the fact that the gathering contains objects dating from the medieval period to the present day.

Instruments of space science, route, looking over, drawing and figuring are all around spoke to, as are sundials, scientific instruments and early electrical contraption.
