The Whipple collection contains some astonishing scientific instruments from the 17th century, but how were they used in practice? In this special Open Cambridge talk, the Museum’s Director Dr Joshua Nall will introduce you to a short history of 17th-century instruments and their use.
Drop in. Seated talk in the Learning Gallery.
This event is part of 1618 Day at the Whipple Museum: in honour of our beautiful Jacobean building, originally Cambridge’s Free School, we’re exploring everything 17th-century, from historic scientific instruments to the secrets of our building. See our website for more details.
