SUMMARY:Does Mill Road matter? Local history and museums in the 21st century
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Cambridge Festival\,  Mill Road History Society and The Museum of Cambridge present a talk by Roger Lilley\, looking at their history\, relationship and opportunities for the future\, as well as some of the interesting material in the Museum.  Roger is Chair of Trustees at MoC and an editor for the museum social history website\, Capturing Cambridge.\n\n\nRoger Lilley looks at the relationship between a local history museum and a local history group and the opportunities presented for their interaction. \nRoger will be talking about the Museum of Cambridge\, its history\, trials and tribulations and future development. He’ll be talking about the way it can interact with local history societies and in particular with the Mill Road History Society. He’ll look at their legacy to the Museum\, Capturing Cambridge\, and how the Museum has used that resource to widen its outreach and collect more resources. \nHe’ll also look at new material that the Museum has collected on people and events in the Mill Road area and talk about opportunities to enrich that collection of data further. In comparison\, he will look at other roads\, communities and villages in Cambridgeshire and how the Museum has and continues to play a role in fostering a knowledge of local history. \nHe will ask how communities such as those living in the Mill Road area would like to see the future of the Museum of Cambridge\, and whose responsibility it is ultimately is to ensure that its collection and influence continues into the 21st century. \nRoger is currently the chair of the Trustees of the Museum of Cambridge. He is a former Cambridge primary school teacher with a mixed background in classics\, religious polyphony\, catastrophe reinsurance and environmental campaigning. He’s lived in Cambridge for over thirty years and devoted himself to local history research for the last ten. \nThis talk is a joint venture between the Mill Road History Society and the Museum of Cambridge\, as a part of the Cambridge Festival. \n  \nDoors open at 7pn\, and the talk will start at 7:30pm. Entry is free and open to all. Booking is recommended via an email to bookings@millroadhistory.org.uk but everyone is welcome on the night subject to space. \n  \nLocation: \nMill Road Community Centre \n6 Hazell Street \nCambridge CB1 2GN \nUnited Kingdom \nMore information is available at: https://millroadhistory.org.uk/event/does-mill-road-matter-local-history-and-museums-in-the-21st-century/

SUMMARY:Exhibition: "The Stories Behind the Stitches"
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Cambridge opens a temporary exhibition\, “The Stories Behind the Stitches”\, exploring wellness\, disability and self-expression through Cambridge textiles. \n“The Stories Behind the Stitches” is a temporary exhibition of needlework\, quilts\, and other textile objects which explore how the needle and thread has been paramount in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire community’s self-expression during times of War\, throughout education\, and times of celebration. The exhibit is now open and will be on display until Autumn 2024. \nThe exhibition highlights how textiles have been instrumental in self-expression throughout milestones in a person or communities’ life. Visitors will be taken on a journey which allows them to consider themes of education\, family-life\, disability\, and celebration\, and how these are expressed through textiles. \nThe exhibition features the Master’s Wives’ Quilt\, a quilt lovingly sewn square-by-square by over 200 women and girls including 13 wives of Cambridge College Masters in 1892 as a wedding gift for a royal prince\, a grandson of Queen Victoria. The needlework samplers on display are stitched by local Cambridge schools by girls as young as 11 years old\, and there are several embroideries created by recovering out-of-action soldiers at the First Eastern General Hospital in World War I. This exhibit will allow the opportunity to see a beautiful selection of textiles amongst those mentioned which tell a plethora of local tales exploring education\, disability\, and celebrations. \nDue to the nature of our 16th-century old building\, the Museum of Cambridge is not wheelchair accessible. However\, there will be a curator talk on this exhibit\, “Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability\, and injury” (Textiles Therapy: Aiding mental health\, mourning\, disability and injury Tickets\, Thu\, May 2\, 2024 at 1:00 PM | Eventbrite) that will be held in our hireable space\, which has level access\, and there is an accessible bathroom on site. We are working on enhancing our accessibility\, and we recognise that this is a core development priority.

The Museum is open Monday\, Wednesday-Saturday 10AM-5PM and Sunday 11AM-4PM. Adult admission is £6\, and Student/Jobseeker admission is £4.5 to support us\, an independent Museum and charity.
