At the Whipple Museum

Come and visit!

The museum itself! If you're within reach of Cambridge, come and see some of the objects you chose, for real, for free. For opening times and so on, check...
...the main museum website [http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/whipple/], which also has information about our various collections and exhibitions.
Starry Messenger, our site about the history of astronomy [http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/starry/]. This has more about astrolabes, armillary spheres and other astronomical instruments (there's some pretty complicated stuff on here).
Launching April 2006: a new website exploring even more of the Whipple's objects (you'll be able to find it from our main website).
