Museum

The Museo della Specola is housed in some of the rooms of the XVIIIth-century tower - built onto Palazzo Poggi, present seat of the University of Bologna - which in the XVIIIth and XIXth centuries were mainly given over to astronomical observation. The museum is today subdivided in three rooms: the Meridian Room, the Globe Room, and the Turret Room, situated on the first, third and fourth floor of the tower respectively.
The same tower also houses the Department of Astronomy of the University and the Astronomical Observatory.

The Museum's mission and vision, revised and approved by the Board of Directors in 1999, is as follows:
Our mission is to record, preserve and tell the stories of Hawai`i and the Pacific, inspiring our guests to embrace and experience our natural and cultural world.
We will tell the full story of Hawai`i in relationship to its place in the Pacific, and the world, and we will make Hawai`i aware of the world around us. These stories will be told through a network of public museums and learning centers that provide personal experiences that are engaging and relevant. To present these stories, we will use collections, research, information, educational programs, and publications in collaboration with expertise available in the community. Bishop Museum will rank with the best museums in the world.

The William Herschel Museum is dedicated to the many achievements of the Herschels, who were distinguished astronomers as well as talented musicians.
It was from this house, using a telescope of his own design that William discovered the planet Uranus in 1781. His observations helped to double the known size of the solar system. Following a tradition of the great astronomers of the renaissance he pushed forward the science of building telescopes. He was rewarded for his work by King George III, and also received the Copley Medal. Caroline also made a huge contribution to the field of astronomy. The work of the Herschels clearly had an impact on modern science and space exploration.

An historic astronomical observatory and radio station owned by the East Devon District Council and operated by The Norman Lockyer Observatory Society. The Observatory was established in 1912 by Sir Joseph Norman Lockyer for astronomical research. Now the Observatory is operated for the benefit of science education, to promote the public awareness of science and to provide a facility where individuals and groups can participate in projects and the recreational study of science in a practical way.

The objective of the Wood Library-Museum of Anesthesiology is to collect and preserve literature and equipment pertaining to anesthesiology and to make available to the anesthesiology community, others in the medical profession and the public the most comprehensive educational, scientific and archival resources in anesthesiology.
The Wood Library-Museum is governed by a Board of Trustees of nine anesthesiologists who collectively envision the Wood Library-Museum as a completely integrated collection of books, audiovisual materials, rare books, current literature, equipment and artifacts. Twenty-two committees, appointed yearly, serve the Wood Library-Museum as expert consultants.

Since its founding in 1812, The Academy of Natural Sciences has made tremendous progress in unlocking the secrets of life through its world-renown scientific research and expansive scientific collections. The Academy has continually been at the forefront of documenting species, interpreting their roles in the environment and restoring and preserving ecosystem health, and also has attempted to share this scientific knowledge with other organizations, governments, businesses and individuals to inspire stewardship of our planet's natural environment. The Academy is comprised of three main parts - Museum, Education and Research.

The Steno Museum holds exhibitions on the history of science and the history of medicine. It also operates a planetarium and a medical herb garden.

The exhibitions, which are based on original objects as well as reconstructions, models, posters and hands-on exhibits, give a view of the development of science and medicine from ancient times until today. This development is described as a part of the general history of civilization.
