Cambridge Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology: Volunteer Programme

About Cambridge Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology: Volunteer Programme

The Cambridge Museum of Technology is an industrial heritage museum situated in Cambridge, England. The original building, a scheduled monument, housed a combined sewage pumping and waste destructor station built in 1894. The museum helps people to explore, enjoy, and learn about their industrial heritage by celebrating the achievements of local industries and the people who worked in them. The site on the River Cam has green spaces for picnics and a fun, relaxed atmosphere for families. There are audio-visual displays, hands-on exhibits, and children's activities, as well as museum displays and historic buildings. The Victorian Pumping Station, with its machinery, showcases 19th-century engineering and technology. Displays on the industries of Cambridge reveal an alternative side of the city's history to the famous colleges. And the story is brought into the 20th century with exhibitions on local companies in our Pye building. Featuring Pye and Cambridge Scientific Instrument Company.
