Pumping Station in Pixels - a Minecraft inspired evening of craft.

Follow our trail through the museum to find Minecraft related items from our collections. Get crafting along the way, exploring crafts of old and from the Minecrafting world.  

Find out about the history of our machinery, here at Cambridge Museum of Technology through our Minecraft themed trail.  Find the items at each station, add them to your inventory, and collect the Minecraft ‘recipes’.  Try your hand at crafting at our crafting tables.  What will you create a Redstone Lamp?  A mine cart?  

AND! We will be joined by Fossils Galore, who will be showcasing many of the Minecraft materials you can find in real life!
