About this Event

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 [email protected] rather than booking through Eventbrite.

Group tours are free for schools and community groups. Commercial organisations (including language schools) are charged £50 per booking.
