Museum of the University of Wrocław

Established in 1992, it presents the history of the University in Wrocław – from 1702 to present times. It consists of several premises: Aula Leopoldina, Oratorium Marianum, Mathematical Tower, and exhibition rooms. The Museum collects and presents objects connected to the University’s history: furniture, historical equipment, scientific tools, and archives about the University and people associated with it. Among the most interesting objects we can find rector’s sceptres from 1702 and sceptres of the philosophical and theological faculty, and rector’s robes from the second half of the 19th century. Special attention should be given to a collection of astronomical tools, among others, an astrolabe from the 14th century, a sky globe from 1699, an equatorial sundial from the 18th century, and Galileo’s circular from 1665.
