Visit our new Special Exhibition, which brings together much of Robert S. Whipple's founding donation to the University of Cambridge - a collection formed just as people were beginning to consider the significance of the history of science.
Family activities and party games will run from 1.30pm - 4pm in the Learning Gallery.
Can't make this one? We host at least three Open Saturdays a year, usually during the Festival of Ideas, Science Festival, and Open Cambridge. Keep an eye on our website for more upcoming dates.
Choose something in the Museum to draw and we can add your drawing to our 'Wall of Fame' which will be published on our social media after half term. If you are stuck for inspiration, why not have a go at one of our challenge cards?
