Twilight event at the Whipple Museum

Welcome to the Whipple Museum’s Annual Report, covering a truly record-breaking year. 2024 was our busiest year yet, and the start of a new era of regular weekend openings. Over 20,000 people, most of the them first-time visitors, explored the Museum and gained a taste of the research and teaching happening in the collections and the wider Department of History & Philosophy of Science.

We welcomed new colleagues to the team–Curator Hannah Price, Visitor Services Assistant Annie James and Archivist Victoria Brunton–and were proud to see Collections Assistant Louise McLaughlin progress to a new role in museum collections.

We’re hugely grateful to everyone who supported the Museum this year: colleagues, students, volunteers, visitors, benefactors, and partners.

Below, you’ll find our new Strategic Framework, which will guide our ambitions over the coming few years. Stay tuned for more in 2025.

– Joshua Nall Director
