Interior of a modern exhibition gallery featuring a large blue display panel titled “180 Bliain ar an bhFód: Celebrating 180 Years: University College Cork in Society.” The panel showcases historic documents, seals, and a medal mounted on a white backing. To the right, a wall timeline highlights key dates, and a bold red panel titled “Research & Innovation” presents text and images about institutional developments. The space has white walls, track lighting, and a polished dark floor.

Museum display case featuring historical scientific instruments and records. On the left, a brass and black instrument with a circular gauge is arranged in a wooden presentation box. On the right, a large open ledger book rests on foam supports, its lined pages filled with handwritten entries and numerical tables. Small printed labels and a descriptive placard stand behind the objects inside the glass case.

A museum display case containing vintage surveying and optical instruments. On the right is a large, early theodolite with a telescope mounted on a circular base and various adjustment knobs. To the left is a smaller, box-shaped optical device with a short lens. Both pieces appear to be made of metal with brass components. Red informational panels are visible in the background outside the glass case.

The object features a large polished brass lens mounted on a dark metal body with a small circular viewing window and hinged panel.
