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. For booking click here.  \nThe tours meet the first Sunday of the month\, at 10.30am outside the Round Church on Bridge Street. 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.
