And for those of us not near such nice museums, here is a link to a
virtual museum:
http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/epact/
Here is their own blurb:
Epact is an electronic catalogue of medieval and renaissance
scientific instruments from four European museums: the Museum of the
History of Science, Oxford, the Istituto e Museo di Storia della
Scienza, Florence , the British Museum, London, and the Museum
Boerhaave, Leiden. Together, these museums house the finest
collections of early scientific instruments in the world.
