Open Friday to Sunday, 10:30 to 16:00

Cambridge Museum of Technology is the home of our industrial heritage, where kids can explore and connect with the engineering that has made convenience possible. Learn about the story of sewage and waste disposal in the Victorian Pumping Station. Discover Cambridge’s forgotten industries in the Top Bay. Marvel at the town’s early high-tech companies and entrepreneurs in the Pye Building.

Experience all of this within the setting of a beautiful scheduled monument located with beautiful riverside views. Complete your experience by enjoying a coffee at Hot Rocket at the Museum, or pop back in the evening for a beer and pizza in the Engineers House.
