This free tour showcases a selection of must-see museum objects – your perfect introduction to the Whipple. Additional dates now live!

What is an orrery? Why is the clock chiming 13? Why would you collect and display a set of plaster horses’ teeth, some green spectacles and several hundred pocket calculators?

Join us for a tour of the Whipple’s collection in 10 objects, featuring spectacular instruments, fascinating scientific stories, and links to some of Cambridge’s most famous names.

Please note: if you would like to arrange a group tour, please contact us directly at enquiries@whipplemuseum.cam.ac.uk rather than booking through Eventbrite.
