Summer at the Museums

Summer Science

Part of Summer at the Museums

Get ready for a summer packed with discovery, creativity, and hands-on science! Each week at the Whipple Museum, explore a different scientific theme inspired by fascinating objects from our collections. From light and sound to space, medicine, and scientific models, there's something new to investigate every week.

There will be a brief introduction to the session at the start of each hour.
