Many of the scientific antiquities and papers of the UK end up at the Royal Society Library. Brady Haran has a nice video series named Objectivity[1] about objects in the archives done with their head librarian, Keith Moore[2].

Cheers, I didn't realise the Royal Society had a library. Will check your links.

I very much doubt it - those things weren't cheap and probably would have been repurposed, if possible.

Where do these things that are stolen end up? I wonder what is left nether.

Hooke was a master lens maker, and the inventor of the modern microscope.
