What a quirky fun place to drop into before Kettles Yard! Lovely volunteers too!
This is the most wonderful museum to visit — well-curated and laid out, with amazing exhibits and a great range of changing temporary exhibitions. It's a fascinating look into the history of Cambridge and the people who lived here, and although it's a little way out of town it's well worth a visit. The volunteer staff are always delightful and welcoming — plus, many other museums in Cambridge (especially those associated with the University) are closed on Mondays, whereas the Museum of Cambridge isn't.
It's a great little museum full of interesting local related exhibits, some of which remind me of things my parents had, like early washing machines. Well laid out and labelled. It was nearly empty when I visited at around midday Saturday, but I guess it could get a bit cramped if it was a busy time, because it is quite small, so maybe see how crowded it is before buying a ticket!
write me a short review of the museum of Cambridge in Cambridge England. it's an interesting walk through the history of Cambridge through a variety of everyday artifacts from the past The Museum of Cambridge offers a fascinating glimpse into the city’s rich everyday history, showcasing how local people once lived, worked, and played. Set in a charming 17th-century timber-framed building, the museum presents a wide variety of artifacts. From household items to tools and toys that bring the daily lives of past generations vividly to life. Walking through the exhibits feels like stepping back in time, with each room telling a different story of Cambridge’s social and cultural heritage. It’s a small but engaging museum, making it a rewarding stop for anyone interested in the human side of the city’s history.
Personally, I loved it. It is small, but very informative. It gives you a perspective of old Cambridge. The entrance fee is 7 pounds, but starting from 4pm it is 3,50 pounds - last call discount because they close at 5pm. It is very cute and I recommend a visit.
