Putnam Gallery, Science Center 136 - Ongoing TIME, LIFE, &
MATTER: Science in Cambridge Harvard has a rich history of
scholarly contributions to the various natural, physical, and
social sciences. Time, Life, & Matter features many important
instruments that helped make those contributions possible.
Highlights of the exhibit include a multitude of stories told in
part by such items as a geometric sector designed by Galileo,
electrical experimentation apparatus purchased on Harvard's
behalf by Benjamin Franklin, a suite of clocks illustrating the
development of modern synchronized time-keeping, medical
apparatus designed, in part, by Charles Lindbergh (yes, that
Charles Lindbergh), and the artifacts of top-secret research
conducted during World War II. Download a thematic guide for
