Based in the city’s Victorian sewage pumping station on the banks of the river Cam, Cambridge Museum of Technology brings our industrial heritage to life.

Marvel at the massive 19th century pumping engines and explore the world of early electronics – from radios to scientific instruments. If you prefer doing to viewing, you can make your own souvenir in our print shop or get wet using our interactive water pumps.

Education

The museum welcomes groups from schools and colleges during the week when we are closed to the public. We do not have an education officer but a team of knowledgeable volunteers are on hand to help you plan your visit and act as guides on the day.

Teachers have used visits to the museum to support a range of topics including the Victorians, the industrial revolution and the environment as well as providing inspiration for art and design students and creative writing projects.

We are always happy to discuss your requirements. For an informal discussion leave a message on our answering machine and we’ll ring you back.

Admission charge for schools and colleges:

• £2 per student
• Accompanying adults visit for free

A risk assessment for school visits is available on request.

Adult Groups

We can provide guided tours of the museum for adult groups and our volunteers are also able to visit your society to give an illustrated talk about the museum. Service subject to volunteer availability. Prices on request.
