Cambridge Museum of Technology

A confused museum showcasing a somewhat random mix of machinery and tech. Definitely geared towards steam driven machine enthusiasts. The site itself was a rubbish to energy plant and you are free to explore it at your pleasure. Be sure to go on a day when they fire up some machines. Nice cafe on site.

Even though they weren't steaming, it was wonderful. The exhibits are displayed well and the plaques informative. I wasn't expecting the Pye radio/tv exhibits but they're more local history and quite well done. The staff was friendly, too.

Excellent little museum by the river in Cambridge. Suitable for children & adults, especially any engineers. Hands-on things for the kids to enjoy, including finding the hidden rats! Well restored equipment from this old pumping station, plus a new section following the history of the Pye Company. Nice little coffee shop and an outdoor bar.

Well worth a visit, get there during September 2023 and also see the amazing Pye radio and TV exhibition too

Visited with my 6 year old. She really enjoyed the toilet roll challenges and facts as well as finding the rats. There was also an arts and craft activity ran by a volunteer. Friendly staff, toilets, and cafe. The working type writer was a big hit. My daughter loved learning how to use it. I'd recommend making this a more interactive feature of the museum. I also taught her how to use an old phone. She loved the red phone box outside. Needs a clean though. Some dressing up provided, I reckon that could be a fun activity if there was more to do with it, for example, an interactive piece of technology.
