The Whipple Museum was established in 1944, but our building dates back to 1618, when it was built as the first Cambridge Free School.
Come and admire the original Jacobean roof, find out more about the history of the building and its surroundings, and explore 17th-century scientific instruments. The day will include family activities, curator talks, behind the scenes tours and a chance to explore the history of Free School Lane and the New Museums site.

This is the third Whipple Scribble session. Whether you're a seasoned artist or simply curious to try something new, all abilities are welcome. It's free to join, open to all, and a great way to connect with fellow creatives in the Cambridge area.
