From feline friends to fine ceramics, explore Cats of Cambridge at the Museum of Cambridge from 31 July to the new extended date of 9 November.

It’s said that cats have nine lives. This nine-stop exhibition which runs throughout the Museum celebrates Cambridge’s love of cats. Beloved college cats and heartfelt souvenirs found in the archive and on loan to the Museum all tell the stories of the Cats of Cambridge.

Visit each stop in this exhibition and learn about cats from Cambridge’s past and present.

Standard entry applies. Children 16 and under visit free.

With thanks to our sponsors Menor, Cambridge Cat Clinic, Cambridge Veterinary Group, and Cambridge Cat Sitting Co.
