This charming museum displays interesting everyday items showing Cambridge’s rich history, and is located in a convenient part of town north of the River. If you’re interested in cultural Cambridge you should make this museum part of your trip. The people behind the desk were very friendly, and I particularly enjoyed the Windrush exhibition right at the top of the building.

This museum is surrounded by Kettle's Yard. It has a big sign on the wall facing Northampton Street, but nothing much on Castle Street, where the entrance is. The sign looks like it was painted on the wall a century ago, and somehow doesn't communicate the fact that this is, in fact, operating today. The building is a former inn. It has a lot of exhibits of the sorts of things one would find in an inn over the 400 years of its existence. Although the exhibits are largely household items, they are sufficiently old that an old person like me doesn't immediately think "Oh, we had one of those when I was growing up." This is not the Fitzwilliam Museum, but it's quaint and quirky and well worth a visit on a rainy day. The staff are volunteers and are friendly and knowledgeable (based on a limited sample). I visited because I wanted to find out more about the history of the town. There is some of this (including about the settlement that was close to the museum in Roman times), but this is not its strength. You have to pay, but the cost is modest for what you get.
