Happy International Dog Day! 🐶

Here at Cambridge Museum of Technology we are proud to be a museum! We are firm believers that our four legged friends should be able to learn about Cambridge's industrial history too, and that is why we've ensured our entire site is dog friendly - including all our Museum buildings!

Make sure to bring your furry friends along on your next visit ☺️

📣Calling all local community and heritage groups! 📣

We're looking for local community groups and heritage organisations to join us in celebrating Abbey and Chesterton's shared history, nature, and people at our Community Heritage Day.

This event is being organised by our Community Forum, made up of locals associated with Riverside Area Residents’ Association, Friends of Stourbridge Common, Friends of Logan’s Meadow, East Chesterton Women’s Institute, and St Andrew the Less Community Project (and many more!). The event will run as part of Open Cambridge!

This is a free event shaped by our community, for our community – and we want you to be part of it.

Did you ķnow? The famous Cambridge company Pye once started off life in a garden shed?

In honour of this awesome fact.....and in readiness for the summer holidays....and in the hope of inspiring the next generation of bright sparks.....we have installed our very own educational treasure trove, exploring key STEM themes, related to the work of the wonderful Pye Company. Bring along your aspiring mini engineers, scientists and inventors to explore what we have on offer. There is something for everyone, including an amazing library of STEM themed books.

Huge thanks to the wonderful Pye Foundation for the very generous grant that made this possible 🥳. Happy summer holidays everyone. We are open Thursday to Sunday throughout the summer holidays. For more information please visit www.museumoftechnology.com 🥰
