Cambridge Museum of Technology

Musée | Cambridge | Angleterre | Royaume Uni

Le Musée de la Technologie de Cambridge est un musée industriel important à Cambridge, dédié à l'histoire de la ville et à son développement industriel. Il est situé dans une ancienne station de pompage victorienne, construite à l'origine en 1894 et en service jusqu'en 1968. Ce bâtiment abrite aujourd'hui une variété d'expositions illustrant le passé industriel de Cambridge.

Une pièce maîtresse du musée est les deux pompes à vapeur fonctionnelles de Hathorn Davey, qui étaient initialement utilisées pour pomper les eaux usées vers la station d'épuration voisine. Ces machines sont un exemple impressionnant du génie du 19ème siècle et sont régulièrement présentées en action.

En plus des machines historiques, le musée propose également des expositions sur les industries oubliées de Cambridge, dont la Pye Company et la Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company. Ces expositions mettent en lumière l'esprit d'innovation et d'entrepreneuriat de la région au 20ème siècle.

Le musée met l'accent sur des expositions interactives et familiales. Il propose des présentations audiovisuelles, des exposés pratiques et des activités pour les enfants qui favorisent la compréhension de l'histoire industrielle de manière divertissante.

Pour les visiteurs intéressés par le passé industriel de Cambridge, le musée offre un aperçu complet et fascinant du développement de la ville et de ses technologies.

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.
