Ingersoll Physics Museum?was established. The museum was conceived by Professor Snow and Professor Ingersoll in 1917 and was fully established in 1918 upon the occupancy of Sterling Hall. The establishment of this museum, known at the time as the Historical Museum, made it the first museums of its kind in the country that focused on physics in a kid friendly way. Following Professor Ingersoll death in 1958, the physics department renamed the museum to Leonard R. Ingersoll Physics Museum to honor his dedicated for the success of the Historical museum. So we try hard to keep with tradition. All our exhibits are designed and constructed to give the visitor a hands-on experience of the physics concepts and to put physics in the fingertips of the young. Celebrating 100 years We're celebrating our one hundredth? year with several new exhibited and open-house weekend throughout the year. One can fine events on our calendar .
