The telescope was in service for over 100 years; it was donated to the museum by its last owner, the University of Toronto, in 1984. The telescope was dismantled and brought to the national collection storage. On

By William Knight and Bruce Dudley Some museum artifacts are mysterious. They lack provenance, or history, so we don’t know who made or used them, or why.

A 3D scanner, a pair of hackers, and a whole lot of creativity is bringing a unique artifact from the Canada Science and Technology Museum to life in Canadian classrooms.
