1618 Day
Whipple Museum of the History of Science, Free School Lane, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 3RH
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.
