Exploring our industrial heritage
Cambridge Museum of Technology is based in the City’s Victorian sewage pumping station and helps people to explore, enjoy, and learn about their industrial heritage by celebrating the achievements of local industries and the people who worked in them. The exhibits range from powerful 19th-century steam engines to innovative scientific instruments and home entertainment systems designed and made in Cambridge during the 20th century. The Museum reopened in June 2019 after a major redevelopment, supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic England. The redevelopment included repairing the historic boiler system to run the steam engines, improving visitor facilities and disabled access, and creating new displays on local industries and technology. The Museum is now delivering a programme of events, learning activities, and community outreach.
