We're in the mood for a party!
Join us for a family-friendly celebration for our 75th anniversary. Come along on a special Saturday opening and join in with games, crafts and historic handling objects inspired by some of the stars of our collection.
The museum will be open from 12.30pm - 4.30pm with family activities running from 1.30pm - 4pm. Drop in anytime.
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.

Paul Kindersley and a troupe of performers will perform Ship of Fools, a play written by Kindersley and inspired by a painting by Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516). Bosch’s Ship of Fools depicts a boatload of merrymakers indulging in earthly pleasures while unwittingly sailing towards their doom. The performance will last 30 minutes and will take place amongst Kindersley’s installation of handpainted drapery in the gallery.

About The Cambridge Show
‘The Cambridge Show‘ brings together work by twenty-two artists who live or work in and around Cambridge. Showcasing a cross-section of the artistic community operating in the local area, from photography to performance, the exhibition will explore these artists’ diverse practices, and some of the themes and issues that they are engaging with right now.
