The medieval building, in the centre of Uppsala, that housed the Celsius Observatory is preserved.
A "Celsius statue" can be seen in the foreground.
All observational material, for example the log-books, from the Celsius Observatory are today found in the Uppsala University Library and many
of the instruments are displayed in the Uppsala University Museum or at the Ångström Laboratory - Department of Astronomy and Space Physics.
