Whipple Museum.
The
Whipple Museum's holdings focus on material dating from the 17th to the 19th centuries, especially objects produced by English instrument makers. Instruments of astronomy, navigation, surveying, drawing and calculating are well represented, as are sundials, mathematical instruments and early electrical apparatus.
Not to be missed are the 18th century Grand Orrery built by George Adams,
and William Herschel's Newtonian telescope.
