A small museum, with a big story to share
The Museum of Cambridge is a social history museum. But what does that mean? Come and find out, and do some social history of your own at our latest family event!
Bring along an item which provokes a memory - it could be a souvenir picked up on a family holiday or a particularly cool stick you found in the woods!
Join us for our programme of FREE storytelling and activities every two weeks for families with children aged 1-5.
Be welcomed into the Museum’s purpose-built event space, the Enid Porter Room, with complementary tea and coffee, before entering our 16th-century building to explore the objects on display with some storytelling.
Then return to the Enid Porter Room for a sensory activity related to the story you heard.
