Hello  I would like to thank everyone who replied to my recent inquiry about 
sundial collections in museums.  This is what I compliled based on all the 
suggestions:  - The Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers (CNAM), Paris, France - 
Musée du Louvre, Paris, France - Harvard University Collection of Historical 
Scientific Instruments, USA - Adler Planetarium, Chicago, USA - The Przypkowski 
Museum, Jędrzejów, Poland - The Jagiellonian University Museum, Kraków, Poland 
- Wroclaw University Museum, Wrocław, Poland - Museum of the History of 
Science, Cambridge, UK - Royal Museums Greenwich, London, UK - Museum of the 
History of Science, Oxford, UK - Poldi Pezzoli Museum, Minan, Italy - Nordiska 
museet, Stockholm, Sweden - Musée de la Vie Wallonne, Liege, Belgium  As I do 
similar research in my country I know there is about 20 other museums in Poland 
having sundials in their
collections but the instrument quantity is rather insignificant.   Is there 
anything else one should consider while traveling?   I guess the best thing to 
do would be a worldwide sundial museums database with all the necessery data, 
practical info, collection description, and photos of the dials. What do you 
think about this?  -- Best regards Darek Oczki 52N 21E Warsaw, Poland
