Archaeologically speaking, this Museum has lots of old things that one can view and perhaps smell if one were to sniff closely enough. The walls radiate the type of energy that history can give you when looking at relics and partly decomposed fossils. I quite enjoyed it and hopefully, you can too my good chap.

Amazed by the Roman glove, the size of that totem pole, how wonderfully preserved are the 5000 yr Egyptian artefacts🤩

Love this wonderful place, accessible in all ways, humorous , staff are lovely and it's great free resource. If you are in the area, shopping or having lunch and cocktails go and have a mooch round. Make sure you see the rude pot description, giggling is accepted! There are a multitude of really interesting artifacts.

Verry friendly Staff/Volunteers made a good visit great. On a rainy ☔ Tuesday I saw the sign outside saying its open and went for a quick look round. On the ground floor you have the history of cambridge. But the showstoppers are up stairs, from all over the world, collections including a giant totem pole! Lots of masks 🎭 form all over and canoes 🛶. Well worth an hour visit and best of all its free !!!

We went looking for the Sedqwick Museum of Earth Sciences and found this too. It is actually at the opposite side of that museum at the arched gate. If you go right instead of left, you will find the door to the Museum of Archeology and Anthropology.
This is also free to the public and consists of a few floors of exhibits. When you come in, you will be greeted by a receptionist who will explain what you will see. The store is also there for you to purchase any nice trinkets for home.
On the first floor is an introduction to the 2 sciences and local historic finds in Cambridge. The second and third floors are an open concept display. The reason for this is the huge totem which reaches to the ceiling. The exhibits are broken down by country or group of people. Take your time as you could easily miss the smallest of details.
On the lower floor, are more complete collections. You will also find the larger displays here since it is an open floor. Please be aware there are some displays that contain nudity. This is actually normal for anthropology studies, so don’t be too shocked by this. It is a great learning experience to see how other cultures live, not our own.
On the upper floor we found makeshift displays so you can see some of the items in storage. There are also more regular displays for review. They also have murals and graffiti on the walls that are called ‘People and Stuff, a subversive collaboration.’
See what was and what is for our humanity as a whole. Maybe discover what will be as well from learning the past.

Fantastic olde worlde type museum with a huge number of exhibits crammed into the space. We absolutely loved it and were surprised how much time we spent here. It reminded me on a much grander scale of museums I visited as a child. It is all beautifully cared for and clean though.

Small but large!
Never judge a museum by its size of the door！

Amazing experience, I’ve been to Cambridge about 3 times now and this time I decided to visit all the tourist spots. I walk pass this museum on my way to Zoology museum, and saw the sign said “ Come In “ so I did and amazed by everything inside. Not much to say, highly recommended.

A Hidden Gem in Cambridge!
The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, located right next to the Sedgwick Museum of Earth Sciences, is a hidden gem worth exploring.
The exhibits are well-curated, showcasing fascinating artefacts from different cultures and historical periods. It’s a small but rich museum, perfect for a quiet afternoon of learning and exploration.
Like many museums in Cambridge, entry is free, which is always a bonus.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall experience.
The building itself is charming, though, as with many older buildings, however , they have an elevator and toilet.
Whether you’re interested in archaeology, anthropology, or just love history, this museum is definitely worth a visit!
