Cambridge Museum of Technology

Museo | Cambridge | Inglaterra | Reino Unido

El Museo de Tecnología de Cambridge es un importante museo industrial en Cambridge que se dedica a la historia de la ciudad y su desarrollo industrial. Está ubicado en una histórica estación de bombeo victoriana, originalmente construida en 1894 y en funcionamiento hasta 1968. Este edificio alberga hoy una variedad de exposiciones que ilustran el pasado industrial de Cambridge.

Una pieza central de la exposición del museo son las dos bombas de vapor Hathorn Davey en funcionamiento, que originalmente se utilizaron para bombear aguas residuales a la planta de tratamiento cercana. Estas máquinas son un impresionante ejemplo de la ingeniería del siglo XIX y se muestran regularmente en acción.

Además de las máquinas históricas, el museo también ofrece exposiciones sobre las industrias olvidadas de Cambridge, incluyendo la empresa Pye y la Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company. Estas exposiciones destacan la innovación y el espíritu empresarial de la región en el siglo XX.

El museo pone un gran énfasis en exposiciones interactivas y familiares. Ofrece presentaciones audiovisuales, exhibiciones prácticas y actividades para niños que promueven la comprensión de la historia industrial de manera entretenida.

Para los visitantes interesados en la historia industrial de Cambridge, el museo ofrece una visión completa y fascinante del desarrollo de la ciudad y sus tecnologías.

Small museum with some really interesting exhibits. The highlights include the two Hathorn and Davey steam engines and the display of the history of the PYE company. Some of the quieter areas could do with a bit of TLC but doesn’t detract overall.

Great place to visit. Use the large chimney as a reference for where the place is.

VERY good museum, especially for locals it's a brilliant way to learn about your history. They do super fun kid friendly and informative tours and talks and little hunts for smaller children, as well as powering up machines and a nice cafe and very nice staff. Would recommend

The museum here is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I went there after stopping by Tesco, and it's just a 5 mins walk away. Only the café was open, but there were quite a few people, and the seating with a view of the river was really nice. It seems like this place also opens on weekends. It’s probably best to visit if you’re passing by or if you live nearby :)

What a place! The steam powered pumps are a treasure to see in good condition. I stumbled onto this place by the aroma of fresh coffee from the partner company coffee shop in the ticket office. The old cambs Pye radio exhibition up at the plateau behind the pump house was a nice surprise too. Great way to burn a few hours and had lots of kid friendly activities here and there.
