EXHIBITION: Women, Unity, Strength
2020-02-28 - 2020-07-13 | The Museum of Cambridge, 2-3 Castle Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 0AQ, United Kingdom
Our Cambridge at Your Museum are very excited to announce a fantastic new exhibition in collaboration with Cambridgeshire women’s organisations.

“The exhibition will demonstrate how women can achieve things when they work together inclusively.”

Women, Unity, Strength is an exhibition of artistic responses to the theme from women around Cambridge as well as an exploration of the situations women have lived in throughout history.

This collaborative exhibition involves women from Corona House, Cambridge Women’s Aid, Cambridge Women’s Resources Centre, Sew Angry and other Women’s organisations in Cambridge.

** Unfortunately, as of 17 March, the Museum is closed until further notice on government advice and so this exhibition has now finished. **

March Walking Tour: Hidden Cambridge and the Museum of Cambridge
2020-03-01 10:30 - 12:00 (Europe/London) | The Museum of Cambridge, 2-3 Castle Street, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB3 0AQ, United Kingdom
Journey through the streets of Hidden Cambridge to the Museum of Cambridge
A walking tour for local residents who have always meant to explore the side streets and alleyways but never quite had the time, as well as for visitors to our city who want to discover more of Cambridge beyond King’s Parade.
Join us as we explore Hidden Cambridge, taking in the streets, alleys, buildings and history of the people living in the area between St John’s College and Quayside — the centre of trade that made the town a thriving inland port long before the first students arrived — before crossing the river to Castle Hill and the location of the Roman settlement of Duroliponte, the 2,000 year-old forerunner of the city we know today.
The 90-minute tour will start outside the Main Entrance to St John’s College and end at the Museum of Cambridge. While it may not resemble a Greek temple, this small, independent museum located in a former coaching 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!
The tour will be led by a Cambridge Badged Guide, who will give their time for free – reflecting their high regard for both the Museum of Cambridge and the local history of our city.
Tickets are available at £10.00 per person, which includes an annual pass to the Museum, from the Visit Cambridge website.
Children under 12 years of age can attend for free when accompanied by an adult.

Write a Haiku or Two Tour with Cathy Dunbar, 1.30pm – 2.30pm
With artist Cathy Dunbar, tour around the current exhibition Women Unity Strength and the museum collection, where we will share knowledge and memories of the objects in relation to women’s strength and determination for equality and independence.
We will then repair to the Enid Porter room and create many Haikus based on our thoughts and observations. Your poems will be displayed with the objects in the museum.
Haiku; a traditional Japanese poem structure using only 17 syllables in 3 lines, 5-7-5, evoking the senses and nature. Expressing much, suggesting more, in the fewest words.
No previous experience needed.
Protest March and Singing Tour with Jill Eastland, 3.00pm – 4.00pm
Artist and activist Jill Eastland will be leading a protest tour of the museum’s collection and the current exhibition, “Women, Unity, Strength” We will share knowledge about the history of women’s protests and current campaigns, sing protest songs and chants, discuss creative activism and devise our own protests.

Join us for the second of our Cambridge Talks, a series of events raising funds for the Museum of Cambridge’s fundraising appeal #YourMuseumNeedsYou.

Mike Petty is an eminent local historian of the city of Cambridge and the surrounding area. Founder of the Cambridgeshire Collection, Mike has became the most widely acknowledged authority on Cambridge and the fenland, building up a unique knowledge of resources which he continues to share through regular lectures to groups and societies.
His wide experience in assisting thousands of enquirers for over 50 years and unrivalled knowledge of published material – books, newspapers, illustrations, maps etc – combine to provide a unique service for those investigating any aspect of the area, past or present. More details are contained on his website.
You can learn more about Cambridge’s history from the comfort of your home by visiting Cambridgeshire History on your Computer: the Library on your Laptop and The Cambridgeshire Scrapbook which summarises thousands of articles on Cambridge’s history. If you’re a Facebook user, you can also join the Fenland History on Facebook group.

A workshop exploring what it means to thrive as a community through the creation of artworks and conversation. Family-friendly and free.

What does it mean to thrive? What do we all need in order to thrive?

The artwork and maps we create will form part of an interactive walk-through map at The Museum of Technology in the summer (if covid-19 rules allow), which will be used to further explore.
The workshop is open to everyone – whether you think you are an artist or not (matchstick men and doodles are hugely encouraged!) – it is family friendly and is free.
This workshop is offered by Hilary Cox Condron as part of her work as Ironworks Artist in Residence, and Forge – the community exhibition she installed at The Museum of Cambridge exploring how we can move towards a kinder future.
