This museum was surprisingly amazing. It’s tiny but they packed a lot of stuff in it. Tons of history. The second floor was closed so I’m a little bummed to miss it. The staircase was ridiculously gorgeous! You have to check this museum when in the area. I definitely highly recommend this place.

A stunning place and a must visit in Cambridge! It really reminds me of the V&A in London. There’s no parking really near by, so prepare for a little walk. The cafe was busy when we were there and so were the locker rooms. We stayed here for almost two hours and it was tiring (with a 5 year old) he enjoyed the first exhibit with guns and swords most. It also made for the perfect introduction to museums.

Absolutely excellent museum.

Came on the bank Holiday to see the Hockney exhibition. It has been spaced out throughout the museum so you get to see more.

Really great exhibits on offer and extremely well presented.

Free entry, very nice gift shop.

Toilets in basement.

Loved this museum. From medieval armors and weapons to ancient Roman Empire or even Egypt. The collection is superb and worths your time to pay it a visit. When you want to take a break there is a coffee/tea shop near the souvenirs.
I really enjoyed my time here and definitely I'll return as I didn't had enough time to explore it properly.

Magnificent building and great collections of art and items. I was stunned by the model of a prisoner lying tied up on floor...so realistic.
You can walk up for entry but on busy days its best to book online its free entry although they do ask for a donation of £5.

Nice Museum to visit, my son wanted to see the Egyptian items. You could spend a couple of hours walking around looking at the interesting artifacts. You have to book your tickets online before you go. Its free to visit or you can make a donation if you like.

This gorgeous museum is a must when I’m Cambridge. We went at the peak of summer and it was still not too crowded nor too hot on the inside. The collection is very nice and well worth the visit and the building itself is a work of art.

The entry is free.

It was bigger than we thought and when we visited it was around Christmas time and it was much too beautiful.

This Museum houses vast collections of antiquities from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, including exhibits of English and European pottery and glass, furniture, clocks, Chinese jades, and ceramics from Japan and Korea.

Definitely a must see if you are in Cambridge!
