The UW Physics Department welcomes you to the L.R. Ingersoll Museum!

Established in 1918

Our museum is open to all visitors from 8:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.
   For changes to our hours, please refer our "News" page.

The L.R. Ingersoll Museum is a free public venue and runs on donations.  Our exhibits give you a "hands-on" experience of physical concepts ranging from mechanics to modern physics in a demonstrational kid-friendly environment.
 
In conjunction to our museum, you will find historical instruments and photos of  the Nobel Prize Winners in Physics from 1901-1993 on display along the corridors.
