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.

 

Meet at the reception point in the Main Gallery.

 

Explore a remarkable range of scientific instruments used to make sense of the world, from the Middle Ages to the present day. Discover objects from astronomy, navigation, surveying, drawing and calculation, including sundials, mathematical instruments, early electrical apparatus—and even a microscope once owned by Charles Darwin.

Plus, enjoy hands-on activities in the newly refurbished Learning Gallery, perfect for little ones — or book a Whipple Highlights guided tour. Afterwards, take home a treat from the Whipple gift shop to remember your visit.

Now open, The Art of Deception takes visitors into the dark underbelly of the world of collecting. How do fake artefacts end up in museums? Who made them, and why? And how do we detect them?

Opened in January, this new exhibition puts the forged scientific instruments that have fooled collectors and experts under the spotlight. From an intricate “silver” globe to eye-popping medical prints, visitors can explore over a hundred notorious objects, alongside the careful investigative work that exposed them.

Robert Plane is one of our top clarinettists – a regular principal with the best orchestras and constantly sought-after as a soloist and chamber musician. Robert is constantly expanding the clarinet’s repertoire, rediscovering forgotten works, masterminding major recording projects and working closely with composers. In this concert, Robert will join forces with the peerless Gould Piano Trio, three exceptional musicians, to make up a formidable quartet of pure quality.
