SteveHB Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Teyler's Museum in Holland is unique among museums in that it is a preserved institution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, not just a collection of objects grouped together and housed in a purpose-built museum,, as is usually the case. The website focuses on the nineteenth-century section of the The Cabinet of Physics. A large descriptive catalogue of the old instruments can be downloaded, 360 pages (size 22 MB) in PDF format. It focuses on their materials, construction, purpose, operation, and makers and is Full-text searchable. Some of the collections listed are ... Timekeeping. Telephony. Weights and Measures. Electricity. Optics. Acoustics. Projectors. etc. Link to the The Cabinet of Physics of the Teyler Museum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
