Highlights of the exhibit include many 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, and a suite of clocks illustrating the development of modern synchronized time-keeping.

Five themes serve as the framework for exploring interconnected ideas across disciplinary and chronological lines:
Colonial Science
Natural Philosophy
Astronomer’s Time
Mind and Body
Physical Matters 

This is part of a permanent exhibit at the museum.
