The Whipple Museum, part of the University of Cambridge, is a celebration of science with collections of scientific equipment dating back to medieval times, including instruments of astronomy, navigation, surveying, drawing and calculating. Founded in 1944 and housed in a former school built in 1628, the museum includes galleries and learning spaces used for research, learning and education.
