Museum closed due to Coronavirus pandemic

We are sad to announce the Museum of Cambridge is now closed until further notice, following government advice. We have also cancelled our events for the time being. We hope we will be able to reopen for the Summer, but are uncertain when this will be. We will update our website and keep people informed by newsletter and social media.

The museum will very much need your support when it reopens, so please do look out for announcements. We’re still working behind the scenes, on email and social media, and if you have questions do get in touch on enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk.

Welcome to our Museum
