Join us for the fourth and final Whipple Scribble of the year, where we’ll be inspired by the fascinating work of Dr Louis Auzoux.

Whether you're a seasoned artist or just curious to try something new, all abilities are welcome at this after-hours sketching session. Free to join and open to everyone, it’s a relaxed way to connect with fellow creatives in the Cambridge area.

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.
