SUMMARY:Places and Spaces: Exploring Cambridge through Town and Gown
DESCRIPTION:Are you Town or are you Gown? Can you be both\, or neither? Does that affect the way you use spaces in Cambridge? \nA team of 5 Community Curators working with the Museum of Cambridge wanted to find out how the people of Cambridge use spaces in the city\, and if this differed from person to person depending on whether they considered themselves to be Town or Gown. \nWhere do you feel comfortable in the city? What spaces do you use the most\, and how? \nIn July 2021\, Community Curators asked the public to fill in a survey which examined questions of space\, feelings of comfort and discomfort\, and whether people felt spaces in Cambridge were defined by a relationship to the University. There is a historic tension between Town and Gown\, but is this tension real or made-up? Does it influence the way people interact with spaces like parks\, pubs\, and buildings?\n\n‘Places and Spaces: Exploring Cambridge through Town and Gown’\, the museum’s new community-led exhibition\, examines the themes of the use of space in the city\, Town & Gown\, belonging\, and what it means to feel at home for the people of Cambridge.\nThrough this exhibition\, which you can enjoy onsite at the museum and online on our Capturing Cambridge site\, you will see how objects and stories from our past compare to the thoughts and feelings of the people of Cambridge today.\n \nVisiting the exhibition onsite is subject to paid entry to the museum. You will be able to enjoy seeing and learning about the objects in our collection that tell the stories of people and spaces in Cambridge\, a display specially dedicated to our Community Curators and community work in the museum\, and much more. \nTo visit the exhibition online for free\, you only need a device (such as a phone or laptop) with internet connection and a browser installed. At Capturing Cambridge the content of this part of the exhibition is different from that found at the museum: it is an interactive map of the spaces that people who took the survey nominated as their favourites in Cambridge. You can learn about these places as you interact with the map and walk around. This will launch at the same time as the physical display in the museum. \nCome take a look at the spaces we use in Cambridge from 27th August. \nFor enquiries please email enquiries@museumofcambridge.org.uk

SUMMARY:A Great Unrecorded History: Cambridge’s Queer Past
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next in our series of ‘Cambridge Talks’. \nThe writer E.M. Forster once referred to the history of homosexuality in his time as ‘a great unrecorded history’. This was especially true of Forster’s adopted home of Cambridge\, whose vibrant queer past has often gone unrecorded.  \nDiarmuid Hester’s popular queer audio trail of the city aims to set the record straight (as it were). In this talk\, he discusses his work on the audio trail\, and reveals how LGBTQ+ people have shaped the history of the city and been shaped by it in turn. \nDr Diarmuid Hester is a radical cultural historian\, and an authority on sexually dissident literature\, art\, film\, and performance. He is a regular contributor to BBC Radio 3\, and last year was named a BBC New Generation Thinker. Diarmuid’s new book on sexuality\, culture\, and place will be published by Allen Lane/Penguin in 2023. He teaches at the Faculty of English\, University of Cambridge\, and is a research associate of Emmanuel College\, Cambridge. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to attend this talk: \nThis talk will be held on Zoom. There is no need to download any software- you can access the talk via your usual internet browser from the comfort of your own home. Cup of tea/glass of mulled wine is optional! \nOnce you have purchased your ticket on Eventbrite\, you are officially signed up to the event and you will receive an automatic confirmation email from Eventbrite. \nOn the day of the event\, we will send you a ‘Zoom Invite’ with joining instructions which explains how to attend the talk. \nIf you have any concerns or questions about attending this event\, please email Annie on annie.davis@museumofcambridge.org.uk.

SUMMARY:Hidden Cambridge Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Journey through the streets of Hidden Cambridge \nThis Hidden Cambridge tour is for all those who have always meant to explore the side streets and alleyways of this historic city but never quite had the time\, as well as for visitors who want to discover more of Cambridge beyond King’s Parade. \nDiscover the heart of the ancient city\, some of the hidden nooks and crannies you’ve never noticed before around the river crossing and quayside area – traces of the Roman settlement\, the Norman castle\, the Saxon and Viking trading centre and the medieval town. Hear stories of beer\, brothels and boatmen!  \nQualified Blue Badge Guides will share their extensive knowledge of the local area – you won’t find these stories in the guidebooks! \nThe tour is subject to COVID-19 regulations in place at the time\, and the groups will be small and conducted in a safe way.

Each tour lasts about 90 minutes and the cost of £15 a head includes a free one-time admission to the Museum of Cambridge. All proceeds go towards supporting the Museum. \nThis small\, independent museum\, located in the former White Horse Inn\, has a big story to share. Suffused with the history of the local people of Cambridge\, it contains an eclectic collection of everyday objects used in day-to-day life\, from vacuum cleaners and washing machines to false teeth and mantraps! \nOpening times are limited currently\, check the web site for up to date hours. This tour is organised and run by Hidden Cambridge\, for further details contact Hidden.Cambridge@gmail.com.  \n The Museum of Cambridge is hugely thankful to the generous support of the Blue Badge Guides who give up their time to offer these tours. \nFeatured photo by Bob Wheatley The Round ChurchPortugal PlaceThrough the Door of St Peter’sThe Hawks’ Club

SUMMARY:The Museum Makers with Rachel Morris
DESCRIPTION:In ‘How to Make a Museum Out of your Own Life’\, Rachel Morris will be talking about their book The Museum Makers: \n“My book\, The Museum Makers\, began when I opened up the boxes of old family mementos under my bed and saw inside them the entire history of my bohemian family.  Despite all the years I had been running a museum-making company (called Metaphor) this was the first time that I realised that just as museums are about making meaningful sense out of the confusion of the world\, so – in what we do with our pasts and how we try to make sense of them – we are all museum-makers.  My book is part history of museums\, part memoir of a wayward and bohemian family\, part manual of how to make a museum out of your own life.  Threaded through it are the themes that fascinate me most\, of time and memory and the stories families tell themselves and others. It includes a chapter on the Museum of Cambridge and the story-finding skills of Enid Porter.” \nDon’t miss out on this exclusive event! \nYou can purchase The Museum Makers online here or here. \nAbout Rachel: \nRachel was one of the founding directors of Metaphor\, a company specialising in museum master – planning and exhibition design.  As part of the Metaphor team\, they worked all over the world\, from Chile to the Hebrides\, and from Singapore to the Grand Egyptian  Museum in Cairo.  Rachel specialised in museum interpretation – how to bring objects alive by the stories we tell about them.  Prior to this they had two novels published – The Fringe Orphan and Ella and the Mothers – both of which were very well reviewed.  Rachel has always loved writing.  The only thing that could have enticed them away from it for twenty years was their equal love for museums.  And one of the things Rachel will say in this talk is that storytelling and museum-making have many things in common. \nFollow Rachel on Twitter \nPlease note that this is an exclusive event for the Friends of the Museum of Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Football and Camp Ball in Cambridge and East Anglia Since the 14th Century
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the next in our series of ‘Cambridge Talks’ as we talk all things football with Nigel Fenner \nWhilst most famous for being the birthplace of the modern-day laws of football in the middle of the 19th Century\, Cambridge and East Anglia also boast a long and illustrious association with the game\, including the folk-version\, called Camp Ball across East Anglia – going back to at least the 14th Century. This Zoom presentation follows an imaginary tour though Cambridge starting at St John’s College and finishing on Parker’s Piece\, with reference also to the 200+ Camp Ball sites across East Anglia. \nNigel Fenner won his Football Blue for Cambridge University\, where he trained as a teacher. Related to Frank Fenner\, the local tobacconist who founded Fenner’s Ground\, Nigel’s other ‘Town links’ include living and working locally since 1981\, mostly with disaffected young people. He now runs Cambridge Sports Tours and will be publishing ‘Cambridge Sport: In Fenners’ Hands’ by the end of 2021. \nAll proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to attend this talk: \nThis talk will be held on Zoom. There is no need to download any software- you can access the talk via your usual internet browser from the comfort of your own home. Cup of tea/glass of wine is optional! \nOnce you have purchased your ticket on Eventbrite\, you are officially signed up to the event and you will receive an automatic confirmation email from Eventbrite. \nOn the day of the event\, we will send you a ‘Zoom Invite’ with joining instructions which explains how to attend the talk. \nIf you have any concerns or questions about attending this event\, please email Annie on annie.davis@museumofcambridge.org.uk.

SUMMARY:ReStorying OUR Museum: Exploring the Museum of Cambridge's Colonial Legacy
DESCRIPTION:ReStorying OUR Museum was a pilot project that the Museum of Cambridge ran earlier this year to explore the colonial legacy of its collection. The museum worked closely with volunteers and other members of the local community to examine the Tobacconist Sign: a conflictive object that was not appropriately interpreted to tell the full story behind it. \nIn this talk Florencia Nannetti\, Community and Visitor Engagement Officer at the museum\, and Kirsten Huffer\, one of the volunteers who is a recent MPhil in Heritage Studies graduate from the Cambridge University Department of Archaeology\, will share their experience of carrying out a project like this\, what the challenges and the results were\, and what it means in a local and global context. This will be followed by a brief Q&A session for attendees to ask their queries. \nThis talk is suitable for anyone who wants to learn more about community work in their local museum\, and colonial legacies of the everyday. \nBook your tickets here

SUMMARY:PERIPHERY: Ian Rawlinson speaks with The Museum of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Event details: \nAs an artist Ian Rawlinson’s work has taken him around the UK\, the world and back to his hometown of Cambridge. His recent artwork and filmmaking have seen him re-engage with his past\, shedding new light on transitional places that remained hidden in his psyche for many years. He will talk about the process of making this work and why unearthing places and memories from his childhood have formed a powerful confluence with his present day experiences of working in Cambridge\, drawing him back to the city he left as a teenager. \nAbout Ian: \nBorn in Cambridge\, Ian Rawlinson grew up in the city during the 1960s and 1970s. He studied art at Cambridge College of Art & Technology (now Anglia Ruskin University) and left Cambridge in 1982 to further his studies at Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art. Since 1985 he has lived and worked in London. He has also travelled and worked in Europe\, the USA and Mexico. To date his work has been shown in many group and solo exhibitions\, both in the UK and internationally and is held in public and private collections. \nIn 2011 a revelatory moment caused Rawlinson to reconsider his relationship with the past and he decided to make a short film using images of his childhood home in Arbury and King’s Hedges to explore ideas of place and memory. Whilst researching this project he came across some evocative images of the old Kite (pre-Grafton Centre) and decided to make a film and series of work about the loss of this area. This work formed the exhibition ‘Vessel’\, shown at Williams Art in Cambridge in 2014. ‘Trace‘\, a second exhibition and film about his past connections with North Barnwell took place at the Leper Chapel in 2015. There followed a series of solo exhibitions at the newly opened Edge Café on Mill Road. ‘No Man’s Land‘\, inspired by memories of Mill Road took place in 2017. ‘Frontier‘ included his work about Arbury and King’s Hedges along with his third film\, in 2018. Further exhibitions ‘Liminal‘ and ‘Absence‘ took place in 2019 and 2020 respectively. His most recent exhibition\, ‘Marginal‘\, took place in September 2021 and featured Rawlinson’s work along with text by writer Grahame Davies. \nIan’s work: \nVisit Ian’s website for more about his work. \nAbout the event: \nThis talk is part of the Museum’s ‘Cambridge Talks’ series. All proceeds from this event will go towards supporting the Museum of Cambridge.   \nHow to book: \nTickets are by donation.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Together: New Exhibition Launches in December
DESCRIPTION:CELEBRATING TOGETHER \nThere’s so much to look forward to this winter season\, and something you should definitely start getting excited bout\, is our new seasonal exhibition\, Celebrating Together\, which is launching on December 2nd and stays on until January 10th. \nFor many of us winter is a time of celebration\, whether you do Hanukkah\, Christmas\, Kwanzaa\, New Year\, something completely different or nothing at all! It is generally a time to spend indoors cooking and sharing food\, making crafts and playing games\, and thinking about the year gone by and the one right ahead while it freezes outside. And this is exactly what we wanted to capture with this exhibition. \nWhat’s especial about this exhibition? I hear you ask. Not to give away too much before you experience it yourself\, but there’s so much to look forward to when you visit: \n\nWe are exhibiting more than 10 objects not seen in our permanent displays in years\, such as vintage toys and seasonal cards\, as well as some quirky old decorations.\nWithin the exhibition there are 4 instances in which you can participate and add your contribution to the current displays by writing\, drawing\, and taking fun pictures. Oh and did we say there’s a prize to be won?\nThis exhibition includes some of the voices of people just like you that have shared their stories of celebration for everyone to enjoy.\n\nCome on then\, put on some warm clothes and come to the museum to share the festive spirit with us. \n\nWe visited Cambridge Central Mosque to record a story of celebration of Eid \n \nWe attended a parent group in Arbury\, getting creative and festive whilst we listened to how families celebrate. \n*Please check opening times on our website before visiting us.

SUMMARY:Cambridge Talks with Grahame Davies
DESCRIPTION:“Setting to work in one of the most over-interpreted cities on earth\, Grahame Davies pitches for the margins\, subtle undercurrents and overwritten terrains of Cambridge. This light-touch genial pyschogeographer seeks the company of a series of Virgilian guides to its habits and haunts\, and the consequences are revelatory. For such reasons this warm and personal book stands a league apart from the scores of gushing screeds on the branded city and its ossified centre.” – Michael Hrebeniak  \nCambridge: the right brain of Oxbridge\, the composite capital city of Clever. For eight centuries\, this quiet English seat of learning has been one half of history’s longest-running academic arms race. When it comes to stockpiling Nobel Prizes\, only that Ivy League newcomer\, Harvard\, has more. \nThis is the mater of all alma maters\, with the kind of A-list alumni – Newton\, Cromwell\, Wordsworth\, Coleridge\, Darwin and Hawking – so famous they don’t even need first names. This is the city where Wittgenstein split hairs and where Rutherford split the atom; where Watson and Crick discovered the DNA that shapes the human body\, and where generations of students push those bodies to their limits. \nBut behind the picture-postcard image of punts\, Pimms and polymaths\, is another Cambridge: the working East Anglian fenland community that gave us Pink Floyd\, Association Football\, the Society for Psychical Research\, the Cambridge Folk Festival\, the Reality Checkpoint – and the graffiti protestor who sprayed his messages in Latin… \nPoet and psychogeographer Grahame Davies explores both Cambridges: the world city and the workplace\, the glamorous and the gritty; the famous and the forgotten. He discovers there’s always more to discover about this extraordinary city – no matter how clever you are. \n  \nBOOK NOW\n  \n
